About
This birding tour is one of the best spots for Northern Thailand. It combines all habitats and altitudes for most of the birds found here. Although the list of species is very impressive I only included the list of birds I have seen here in the itinerary. I am sure we will spot species I have yet to spot as it happens more often than not.
