I did not found many upper picthers that day but most of them were almost white and they could seriously compete with
N. alba (the former
N. gracillima):

From time to time, one can find strains with crimson pitchers. I bet this is such plants which had been collected and introduced in horticultural circles as "Nepenthes thorelii":

Local khmers who live in the park told me that it can be very cold at night and they have sometimes found ice (!) in the pitchers. This reminded me what's been said of the population of
N. smilesii growing in Phu Kradung (Mount Kradung) in Thailand which is a 1500 m plateau.
I really hope that now you
Nepenthes enthusiasts will be more familiar with that Indochinese species.
Truly,
François.
