Amolops archotaphus, also known as the Doi Inthanon rock frog (Doi Inthanon mountain being its type locality), is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to Chiang Mai Province in northwestern Thailand, although its range might extend into adjacent eastern Myanmar. Earlier records from Laos have been described as a separate species, Amolops compotrix. Amolops archotaphus itself was "hidden" as a cryptic species within the "Odorrana livida complex" until 1997, and was reassigned to Amolops in 2008.
Amolops archotaphus is known from near small waterfalls at elevations of 1,100–1,800 m (3,600–5,900 ft) above sea level. It is threatened by habitat destruction and degradation, particularly agriculture, development of infrastructure, logging and water pollution. The Doi Inthanon population is protected by the Doi Inthanon National Park. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Doi Inthanon Rock Frog sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 17 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Doi Inthanon Rock Frog in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March and July, the lowest months. That is one of Doi Inthanon National Park's wettest months, with about 330 mm of rain against 20 mm in February.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Doi Inthanon Rock Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Doi Inthanon National Park, in our data
Doi Inthanon National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Doi Inthanon Rock Frog sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Doi Inthanon Rock Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (40 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
