On my October break in 2019, I decided to finally make my way down to Khao Dinsor to watch the annual raptor migration for a few days, as well as check out a few other lesser visited sites in the area. As I used to live in Sawi, a town in Chumphon province about 30 …
Laem Talumphuk Non-hunting Area – Nakhon Si Thammarat
Laem Talumphuk, or Talumphuk Peninsula, is a very out-of-way place, and has a little of an edge-of-the-world feel to it - albeit a sandy, mosquito-ridden edge of the world. Located about 50 km east of Nakhon Si Thammarat's provincial capital of the same name, Laem Talumphuk Non-hunting Area is situated on a long, isolated peninsula, …

Khao Yai National Park
One of Thailand's most popular national parks, probably given it's size and ease of accessibility, Khao Yai National Park is a place I've visited numerous times since I've taken up birding as a hobby. I had previously visited the park in late 2012, but that was a mere fleeting couple of hours when I was …

Long Weekend in Chantaburi – May 4-6th, 2019
With Thailand gaining an additional long weekend in May 2019 for HM Rama X's coronation, my wife and I decided to set out on a small road trip in our recently purchased car to Chantaburi province in Thailand's southeast; although it wasn't really a birding trip, I had bookmarked a few place of interested that …

Phu Suan Sai National Park – Loei
With my wife being from Loei province, I visit the area several times each year, but it wasn't until October 2017 that I first got the chance to visit this great little national park, which is a little over two hours from 'downtown' Loei. However, if one were to travel from Bangkok, the 520-odd …
Khao Luang National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat – February ’19
During a 10-day break over Chinese New Year 2019, I decided to finally attempt something I'd been wanting to do for as long as I've been living in Thailand - hike up Khao Luang in the southern Thai province of Nakhon Si Thammarat. Khao Luang is the tallest mountain in southern Thailand, with an elevation …

North Trip: Chiang Dao and Doi Inthanon – October ’18
Despite living in Thailand for over eight years, I'd somehow never managed to get myself to Chiang Mai, for birding or otherwise, so this October I finally put an end to that fact. After a few days hanging out with a friend in Chiang Mai town itself, I hired a car (not without mishap), and …
