Birdwatchers from all over the world come to Thailand to watch this critically endangered shorebird at Pak Thale and Khok Kham.

		<description><![CDATA[The large majority of birders visit Thailand in the dry season (November to April). Why is this? Well, firstly, there is a far higher number of species present in the country during the dry season due to the visiting migrants from China and Siberia and the largely dry and sunny weather is an attraction for [...]]]></description>

He also saw the male well, through binoculars but only managed to obtain images of this female.

However, beyond the vague instructions of &#8220;the Don Muang area&#8221; I have never known where [...]]]></description>
