With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Keelback sighting in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 35th most-seen of the 46 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and September–November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Keelback in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–May, July–August and December, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Banded Keelback sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Banded Keelback sightings, Khao Yai National Park ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Khao Sok National Park (Thailand, about 40%) and Doi Inthanon National Park (Thailand, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Keelback is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Khao Yai National Park (6 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.
