On 17th February I took a boat trip onto the sand spit at Laem Pak Bia accompanied by six British birders and Mr Daeng to look for White-faced Plover. On arriving at the sand spit a number of large gulls drew our attention including 5 Pallas’s Gulls and a Black-tailed Gull. Whilst watching these several [...]

Limestone Wren Babbler in Kanchanaburi – Thailand Birding
May 16th, 2014 Nick More than 10 years ago I visited Hellfire Pass, in Kanchanaburi, because I was interested in the history of World War II from that area.

Dry Dipterocarp Forest at Doi Inthanon: Birding in Thailand

Birding at Suan Luang in the Afternoon | Thailand Birding
May 3rd, 2008 Nick It is important to go out at the right time of the day when bird watching in Thailand and I was recently reminded of this when I took a late afternoon trip to do some birding at Suan Luang as I was bored with lurking around the house. Afternoon trips in Bangkok can be a risky strategy [...]
