Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Siamese Leaf-toed Gecko sighting in Kaeng Krachan National Park on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 15th most-seen of the 56 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Siamese Leaf-toed Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kaeng Krachan National Park (26 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.
