Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Cardamom Mountains Pricklenape sighting in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 13th most-seen of the 46 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Cardamom Mountains Pricklenape in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, the lowest month. That is one of Khao Yai National Park's wettest months, with about 270 mm of rain against 15 mm in December.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cardamom Mountains Pricklenape 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.
Only Khao Yai National Park, in our data
Khao Yai National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cardamom Mountains Pricklenape sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cardamom Mountains Pricklenape is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Khao Yai National Park (37 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.
