 The species is protected under Thai law, and is found within a National Park (Pai Basin NP), but this does not necessarily protect the species as there is little restrictions on agricultural practices and regulation of tourism is needed to reduce the potential impacts to the species habitat at some sites.Human disturbance from tourism activity (some of the habitat sites are popular for caving tourism and sightseeing) may threaten the species.Agriculture and deforestation are future major threats.
