“Winter” Thrushes at Mae Fa Luang Arboretum – Thailand Birding
April 2nd, 2020 Nick In normal years anyone going birding in Thailand to see a variety of thrushes would be sincerely disappointed. Although there are a large number of species on the Thai list, many of them are very rare migrants that are not even seen annually.

A Few Sites Around Chachoengsao Province | Thailand Birding
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.
