A Few Sites Around Chachoengsao Province | Thailand Birding

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.

An Afternoon at Nui Hide – Thailand Birding

Over the last few years I have visited a number of hides that are dotted around Kaeng Krachan National Park in Western Thailand, all of which are great to visit if you want to get close up views of birds. These hides always provide birders with superb views of lots of common forest birds but [...]

Migrants, Heat & Humidity – Thailand Birding

Heavy rain yesterday morning foiled my attempt to go birding at Sri Nakorn Kuean Khan Park but today the skies were clear and I got a taxi from home to the park, arriving at 6.45am. Getting out of the air-conditioned taxi I was immediately hit with high temperatures and even higher humidity – the previous [...]
