With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Siamese Supple Skink sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 26th most-seen of the 35 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Siamese Supple Skink in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in June and September–April, the lowest months. Those are among Bangkok's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in December.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Siamese Supple Skink sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Bangkok, in our data
Bangkok is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Siamese Supple Skink sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Scincidae
The closest relatives of the Siamese Supple Skink that you can see in Bangkok (family Scincidae, Skinks) are Many-lined Sun-skink (about 20%), Longtail Mabuya (about 20%) and Bowring’s Supple Skink (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Siamese Supple Skink is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Bangkok (16 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
