Wading birds (shorebirds to some) are group much-beloved by some birders but equally they often elicite a response of “I don’t do shorebirds” from others. I have accompanied birders with both attitudes to the Gulf of Thailand, which is undoubtedly one of the best locations in the world to observe waders. Those who love wading [...]

March 31st, 2020 
Nick I spend much of my time in Thailand visiting the very best birding sites over and over again as I show people the most exciting and sought-after species within the country. However, earlier this month I found myself with some time to myself and decided to visit a number of sites in and around Bangkok; [...]

One Hundred Species at Lat Krabang Rice Fields | Thailand Birding
December 23rd, 2019 Nick Although I have lived in “Bangkok” for many years I hardly ever do any birding within the province of Bangkok itself. The main reason for this is that I have always lived close to, or just into the next province of Samut Prakan. Today I found myself with some time and decided to visit a [...]

Gulls at Bang Poo | Thailand Birding
November 19th, 2013 Nick Every “winter” the gull flock at Bang Poo is more than 2000 birds strong and with ever-increasing numbers of Thai day trippers feeding the gulls this large flock of gulls is likely to remain a feature of birding in Thailand. A Lesser Black-backed Gull had been seen there a few weeks back, only Thailand’s second [...]

Birds In Bangkok | Thailand Birding
June 9th, 2013 Nick Although I have lived in in the city since 1996 I am always amazed that there remain lots of birds in Bangkok. I am not talking about the birding sites just outside of the city, I am referring to the birds which somehow manage to make a living within the concrete jungle itself. There are [...]
Birding at Suan Luang in the Afternoon | Thailand Birding
May 3rd, 2008 Nick It is important to go out at the right time of the day when bird watching in Thailand and I was recently reminded of this when I took a late afternoon trip to do some birding at Suan Luang as I was bored with lurking around the house. Afternoon trips in Bangkok can be a risky strategy [...]
