Habitat:
This species uses disturbed habitats, in Thailand it is found in tree hollows and house roofs, and bamboo. In Viet Nam it was found in semi-open habitats  with large number of tall bamboo (Kruskop 2013). The anatomical feature (thickened pads on thumb) also suggests an adaptation to bamboo groves. In Viet Nam, females captured in November showed signs of postlactation while one pregnant female was reported in the beginning of November (Kruskop 2013).

Range:
This species occurs in Cambodia, Thailand, and Viet Nam (Kruskop 2013), and is known from one locality in Lao PDR near Ban Paam, Dong AMphan NBCA, Attapu Province (Thomas et al. 2013).

Conservation:
This species occurs in some protected areas throughout its range i.e. from Nam Cat Tien and Cat Tien NPs in Vietnam and Dong Amphan NBCA in Lao. Further studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, and ecology of this species.
