been collected a various locations across mainland Thailand at 1150-3950
ft. (350-1200 m). Plants usually grow in deciduous forests where the dry
season is relatively long. They are widely distributed in the mountain
areas of northern, northeastern, western, and southwestern Thailand, but
they are also found at low elevations in the Prachuab area in southwestern
Thailand. In the city of Chiengmai, plants grow on teak trees lining the
streets. In Vietnam, plants have been collected in the mountains near
Dalat. The type specimen for Vanda pseudocoerulescens was collected near
Kampot in southern Cambodia.
