Microplastics (MPs) are emerging as ubiquitous environmental pollutants worldwide. However, no research has been conducted in freshwater ecosystems within Thai protected areas (PAs), where biodiversity and natural resources safeguarded for human well-being. The aim of this study was to explore the occurrence abundance potential MPs water PAs examine factors affecting their presence Western Forest Complex Thailand (WEFCOM). Seventy samples were collected from eight WEFCOM using a 20 μm plankton net. underwent digestion, density separation, filtration. Potential visually identified under stereomicroscope, chemical composition further characterized FTIR. results revealed 98.57 % MP prevalence samples, with an average 0.30 ± 0.32 item·L
