More Photos from Laem Pak Bia – Thailand Birding

Yesterday, for a second day, I found myself with time alone to visit Laem Pak Bia and Pak Thale.

After a pleasant few days off from a hectic birding schedule spanning the last 4 months I decided to go to Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan  Park, near my home in Bangkok, to see if I could find any interesting passage migrants.

Birding in Petchaburi Province: Thailand Birding

I sometimes wonder where the best place to live in Thailand is in terms of the potential for the best birding. Chiang Mai is an obvious candidate with a wide variety of forest types and wetlands but my recent 6 day trip in Petchaburi with a group of birders from South Wales produced a wide [...]

Birding at Laem Pak Bia & Pak Thale: Thailand Birding

The twin sites of Laem Pak Bia and Pak Thale on the Gulf of Thailand are well-known for being a great place for watching shorebirds. It has been suggested by an increasing number of birders that it may, in fact, be the best shorebird site in the world. Indeed it is hard to think of [...]
