River Lapwing is a species that has declined considerably in Thailand due to human disturbance along rivers as well as habitat destruction, particularly along parts of the Mekong. However, there is one river in southern Thailand that seems to have a small population of this handsome bird that is doing ok. The Takua Pa river [...]

An Afternoon at Nui Hide – Thailand Birding
January 21st, 2020 
Nick 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 [...]

Black-crowned Night Herons at Wat Phutta Bucha – Thailand Birding

Hotel Grounds & Golf Course Birds – Thailand Birding
June 18th, 2019 Nick Much gets written about the prime birding spots in Thailand such as Kaeng Krachan, Doi Lang, Pak Thale and others but there are a vast amount of other locations, both national parks and otherwise, that do not get talked about much.

Birding When Not Birding – Thailand Birding

Even for many birders a holiday to Thailand is a non-birding, family holiday which locates them away from prime bird watching sites and over the last few days I have found myself in that situation taking a [...]

Migrants, Heat & Humidity – Thailand Birding
March 17th, 2019 Nick 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 [...]

A Morning at Fang Hot Springs – Thailand Birding
March 16th, 2019 Nick I often visit Fang Hot Springs very briefly, stopping to see the Spot-winged Grosbeaks and then leaving but recently while leading a Thailand birding tour I was able to enjoy a longer session of birding at this pleasant location. In the early morning there is always a lot of bird activity and staying nearby at Tangerine [...]
