Local Birdingpal Contacts
|
Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| I've lived in Chiang Mai, the jumping off spot for Doi Inthanon, Doi chiang Dao, Doi Angkhang and others. For two years I can give advice and recommendations to people coming to Thailand for birding both in the North and Central parts of Thailand. I am a birder but not a trekker. | ||||||

| Hi Par, I want to thank you for an amazing experience - you worked very hard, and so did I! But, the results were worth it all. My highlights would definitely be the Spoonbilled Sandpiper, Silver Oriole, Blue-bearded Bee-eater, all the Kingfishers, and Stonechat. I thought Khao Yai was fantastic and we will spend more time there next time. Cheers, K C Choo, Canada, www.kcchoophoto.com Hello Par and Pank, We enjoyed the trip very much. No commplaint from anyone. Steven like your company service better than from the other company...so He want to go again in December with BirdEco. Do not worry ...we are only 50% birder...So saw so many lifer in this trip and is very happy. I think altogether he spotted about 25 lifers. Steven (sharkspin) got his Indian Roller/Green Bee-eater and Hoopoe....and he have good food so he is very happy. Me? I got many action shot of Gulls and terns in breeding plumage. Also got the Green Bee-eater nest...so I am happy. We had a good time ....and enjoyed having MAC and Pank to be our guide too. I will definately plan another trip to Thailand and will definately use WildBirdEco because of the good service and more importantly ...because of my friends who are WildBirdEco. Or maybe Sharkspin will plan ...he is hooked. Hilary Hoe, Singapore, www.fleetingvisions.com/ | ||||||

| B | Mongkonsiri | Ladkrabang, Bangkok | Anytime | Thai/English |
| A Freelance nature camp organizer and bird leader. I live in Ladkrabang District, the east side of Bangkok,which mainly consists of low-lying marshy areas and 200 km away from Khao Yai National Park. Just taking an about 15 minutes-drive from Suwannabhumi Airport to explore many tropical wetland birds and Thai native people's multi-religious lives. All year round, up to 100 species of birds can be easily seen here(particularly during May to Feb). The checklist is available. Visiting local Bhuddist temples and agricultural farms, as well as boating along canals with natural riversides, will make a birding trip memorable. | ||||||

| In Chiangmai there are several good birding sites, such as Doi Inthanon, Doi Suthep, Doi Chiangdao, Doi Angkhang etc., Birding time is possible to do the whole year round becuase the residence , however, the best time is from October untill May which the migrations still around. | ||||||
