Daap Toon Hide at Kaeng Krachan | Thailand Birding
September 7th, 2022

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. Lumphini Park is well-known and well-visited by birders and over recent years Rot Fai Park and the adjacent Queen Sirikit Park have become favourites with birdwatchers in Bangkok.
