Scientists know it exclusively from the type locality: Ban Naxang Village near the Nam Lik Reservoir.

[2][3][4][1] The adult male frog measures 17.0–20.6 mm in snout-vent length.

Scientists believe that during the drier, cooler part of the year, it spends more time in the lower canopy, where human observers are more likely to spot it.

It does face some danger from deforestation associated with agriculture, logging, mining, and road construction.

While frogs in Theloderma have been found in disturbed areas, scientists think this one is at least somewhat forest dependent.
