Our other Thailand Birding Tours
This bird watching tour with All Thailand Experiences and local English speaking experienced birding guide is excellent for first time birders or passionate bird photographers with little time in Chiang Mai. Includes transportation by private air conditioned van, lunch, bottled water.
Peak Birdwatching breeding season (March and April) is here. Many of the resident species are more inclined to be singing or calling and are therefore more easily located. The early wet season, during May to July, is also a very interesting time for the birdwatcher, especially since many species are still feeding fledged young.

In addition, some ground feeding species such as pittas and thrushes, which favor wetter conditions, now start to breed. There maybe short rain showers at this time, the weather is seldom bad enough to interfere too much with birdwatching as it rains mostly at night. make your reservations here .
