Outskirts of KKC

Very interesting and very intriguing Geoff. Its a better photo of GraJong than I have ever gotten inside the park. The mammal info is very interesting, the "honk" is normally a sambar sound rather than a muntjac. Cool!

Great shots!
I love the shot of the Lesser Mouse Deer.
I have seen pictures of these before from those birding water holes on the park boundaries. Good to know that these animals are now more likely to survive because these water holes are no longer used to catch birds and wildlife, but instead to photograph all these creatures.

From locals around Kaeng Krachan I have heard that red muntjac occurs in the wilder areas outside the park, so that could be an option.

Also interesting to hear about the Sun Bears. I think I have seen the shot, but despite it being a man-made waterhole, I assumed it was taken somewhere deeper in the park. IF seen so close to the park boundaries, it likely means the population inside the park is doing well. And hopefully that means hunting pressure is getting less.

In Khao Yai I have found bear claw marks on the first lines of trees on the park boundary, basically in people's backyard!
And bears are known to occur in many forested areas outside protected national parks.

And in an older research paper I read about leopards of Kaeng Krachan sometimes visiting areas outside the actual park. Not sure if this still is the case, but I think it is a good sign that all these creatures occur even close to the park boundaries. It means whenever more buffer zones would be created around parks, wildlife would expand territory. There is definitely still hope for Thailand's wildlife, as long as hunting will stop.
