Southern Thailand Birding Tours

 

Thailand is an incredible birding destination.

Khao Sok National Park is a wonderful place to go birding. The 165 square kilometer reservoir offers easy birding from kayaks. It is very easy to paddle up to the shoreline to see edge species such as bubuls, sunbirds, flycatchers, kingfishers and a lot more.

Khao Sok birdingHornbills are actually common is places like Khao Sok National Park. It’s not uncommon to see several species of hornbill in one day. Of course, the best and easiest way to see the birds of Thailand is from the comfort and convenience of a kayak. Yes, with a kayak you are capable of slipping up on birds and other wildlife.

Have you ever seen a hornbill? It’s really easy if you know where to look. Bushy-crested hornbills, a gregarious species, are common in Khao Sok. The Helmeted hornbill’s eerie calls are often heard in the distance. You’ll see one occasionally. Almost unbelievably, the Great hornbill is a common sighting! Wreathed hornbills frequent the skies too.

It is very common to see uncommon birds.

There is something here for every type of birdwatcher. Vast marsh areas provide great birding if you’re into migratory shorebirds. Lush jungles and rainforests afford a birder with many opportunities.

Our Phuket birding day trip is perhaps unexpectedly productive. It’s common to see between 40 and 60 species in Phuket! One of our most popular combination birding trips is Phuket and Phang Nga Province.

The birding at Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary in Phang Nga Province is sometimes hard to believe. From one strategic position, you can watch dozens of bird species flying around. Vernal Hanging Parrots are common. Brown Barbets, Red-throated Barbets, Coppersmith Barbets and Blue-eared Barbets are all here. The often difficult to see Scaly-breasted Bulbul is easy to find here.

You can visit a couple of pleasant mangrove walkways in Phang Nga Province. Hard to see birds like the White-chested Babblers, Mangrove Pittas, Red-and-Black Broadbills and the Ruddy Kingfisher are all easy to see during the spring months. They’re not as easy to see at other times, but they are still available.

Another tremendous birding destination is Khao Nor Chuchi. This is the home of the rare Gurney’s Pitta. It is southern Thailand’s last remaining lowland jungle. With this, there are species here that aren’t available elsewhere or are very hard to see elsewhere.

Feel free to ask for customized birding trips. We are here to help you see the birds you want to see.
