Tour Summary
This tour covers Central and North Thailand giving a fantastic introduction to many of the key families and iconic birds of South-East Asia.
We will focus on all the best birding sites of this bird rich country allowing us to see a fabulous and diverse selection of habitats and birds. Travelling from the Central region to the north by road rather than flying, allows us to add even more birding sites to the itinerary and to boost our bird list!

We start along the shoreline of the Inner Gulf of Thailand, one of the country’s largest salt production areas and an internationally important site for migratory shorebirds in the whole of South-East Asia. It is here at Khok-Kham Salt Pans where we should find one of the key birds of the trip; the iconic Spoon-billed Sandpiper as well as Nordmann’s Greenshank and a possibility of Asian Dowitcher too! The itinerary then moves to Kaeng Krachan National Park, in Petchaburi and Prachuab Kiri Khan provinces and the largest National Park in Thailand, occupying 2,915 square kilometres. It is often considered as one of  Thailand’s premier forest birding sites and it is an excellent place to see a hugely impressive mix of species. In the lower elevations we will look for species such as Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush and Blue-bearded Bee-Eater in contrast to the tops of the mountains where we hope to find gems such as Ratchet-tailed Treepie, White-hooded Babbler, White-browed Shrike-Babbler, Red-headed Trogon and Streaked Spiderhunter! Next we head to Khao Yai National Park where the evergreen forest, expanses of grassland and an extensive system of trails gives us plenty of opportunity to explore the forest. Her we will be looking for species such as the hugely impressive Great Hornbill, Silver Pheasant and Siamese Fireback and even an outside chance of the highly secretive  Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo!

We then take the long journey north where mountains and picturesque national parks await us! We make an overnight stop en route before focusing our birding within the Chiang Mai Province, well known as one of Thailand’s most exciting birding locations. We will visit both Doi Ang Khang and Chang and Doi San Ju close to Myanmar and finish the tour at Doi Inthanon National Park and the location of Thailand’s highest mountain, Doi Inthanon, standing at 2,565 metres above sea level. At the lower elevation birding areas we will look for flocks containing impressive species such as Clicking Shrike-babbler, Yellow-cheeked Tit, Golden Babbler and Rufous-backed Sibia. In contrast, the summit birding area, provides some of the most memorable birding as we look for species such as Chestnut-tailed Minla, Green-tailed Sunbird, Rufous-winged Fulvetta and Silver-eared Laughingthrush as well as the skulkers like Himalayan Shortwing, Pygmy Cupwing and Dark-sided Thrush.
We hope to see around 400+ bird species during our stay.

This morning we head off to visit the limestone mountains in Saraburi Province specifically to see the Rufous Limestone Babbler and a bird that is endemic to central Thailand restricted to the limestone karst forests of Saraburi Province.

Day 12: Doi Ang Khang
This morning we will travel up the mountain to Doi Ang Khang. This birding site is on the border with Myanmar consisting of a number of peaks and steep ridges that, although largely deforested farmland, contain a lot of scrubby vegetation and forest patches which provide enough habitat to house a good number of interesting bird species, many of which are found in few other parts of the country. One of the delights of Doi Ang Kang is that the scenery is some of the most spectacular in the country and the weather is often cooler than in the lowlands. We will spend the morning birding the mountain looking for key species such as Giant Nuthatch, Chestnut-vented Nuthatch, Crested Finchbill, Flavescent Bulbul, Brown-breasted Bulbul, Striated Bulbul, White-headed Bulbul, Dark-backed Sibia, Rufous-backed Sibia, Grey-capped Woodpecker, Stripe-breasted Woodpecker, White-browed Shrike-babbler, Burmese Shrike, Long-tailed Shrike, White-browed Scimitar-babbler, Silver-eared Mesia, Maroon Oriole, Black-hooded Oriole, Ashy Drongo, Scarlet Minivet, Long-tailed Minivet, Short-billed Minivet, Cook Swift, Japanese Tit, Black-winged Cuckoo-shrike and many more.

Other species often occurring at this spot are Mountain Bamboo Partridge, White-browed Laughingthrush, Rusty-cheeked Scimitar-babbler, Giant Nuthatch, Chestnut-vented Nuthatch, Ultramarine Flycatcher, Rufous-gorgetted Flycatcher, Olive-backed Pipit, Grey Bushchat, and Long-tailed Shrike.

A walk around the hot springs and a stream nearby can produce species such as Asian Barred Owlet, Spot-winged Grosbeak, Coppersmith Barbet, Lineated Barbet, the white-faced race of Eurasian Jay, Ashy Minivet, Scarlet Minivet, Rosey Minivet, Grey Bushchat, Black-crested Bulbul, Black-headed Bulbul, Stripe-throated Bulbul, White-capped Water-redstart, Blue-bearded Bee-eater, Greater Coucal, Black-hooded Oriole, Black-naped Oriole, Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, Black-winged Cuckooshrike, Green-billed Malkoha, Barn Swallow, Striated Swallow, White-crested Laughingthrush, White-rumped Shama, Blue Rock-thrush, Blue Whistling-thrush, Little Pied Flycatcher, Hume’s White-eye, Chestnut-flanked White-eye, Oriental Honey Buzzard and many more.

Overnight Mr Daeng Bird Centre Resort

The habitat at this high altitude is a unique peat bog surrounded by pristine cloud forest and the only habitat type in the country. We will spend the morning birding on a well-maintain boardwalk through the peat bog in a loop.
