For those of us lucky enough to travel internationally to see birds it quickly becomes apparent that in some countries birds are abundant while in others birders have to work harder to see a wide range of species.

Rainy Season Birding at Pathum Thani Rice Research Centre | Birding in Thailand
August 16th, 2024

Queen Sirikit Park Autumn Birding | Thailand Birding
October 23rd, 2022 Nick When it comes to spring and autumn Bangkok-based birders head to the city’s parks in search of a wide variety of passage migrants.

Birding at Benjakitti Park | Thailand Birding
February 18th, 2022 Nick Most people who have visited Thailand will not be familiar with Benjakitti Park in Bangkok.

Visiting Bang Khaem Fishponds | Thailand Birding
June 5th, 2020 Nick Recently I have been visiting birdwatching sites that I have either never been to before or visit very seldom. While it is always nice to go to well-known birding locations where certain key species are know to be found, I also enjoy going to relatively unknown sites and seeing what can be found. In this [...]
