Individual specimens collected from Doi Phu Kha National Park were found at night between 19:00 and 23:00 h on both small and large rocks in medium-sized streams and in forests at elevations between 900-1000 m a.s.l. The surrounding habitat comprised secondary evergreen forests of medium growth. Other amphibian species found to be sympatric include:
