Birding in Thailand, April 2024, part 1: Around Bangkok and Kaeng Krachan
Birding in Thailand, after arrival in Bangkok we visited some paddy fields and temples around Bangkok before heading for Kaeng Krachan National Park.
We travelled with Wild Bird Eco, our guide Nang for the Central part of the trip helped us see many specialities and plenty of our targets.
We can't always get photos of every species - our style is "birding with a camera" rather than dedicated photography. We try to show our favourite photos - sometimes a good photo of a common bird, sometimes a good bird even if the photo isn't so great.

      Sorry for the late reply, we've been out in the field! One great thing about Costa Rica is you really can't go wrong. If you like feeders and close-up birds then there's Cinchona, Miriam's and Paraiso Quetzel. If you like natural surroundings then La Selva, Tortoguero and Carara. Then there's places like Arenal and Las Cruces that have both. And all these places are only a few hours apart!
