Doi Inthanon National Park near Chiang Mai Thailand is by far the best birding area in the Kingdom. Our local guide lives in the Park, speaks English very well and knows the locations of various birds. This saves you valuable time thus seeing more species per day. There will also be time to enjoy the hill tribe villages and hiking on beautiful trails. Here is a list of the birds that I spotted during birding with our guide and clients at Doi Inthanon National Park.. It will give you a good idea of what you can see on a 1 to 3 day trip to the park.

Here is what one of our many clients had to say about birding with us.

Jan.31, 2011 The Spences and Carol and I all enjoyed our 3 day 2 night Doi Inthanon birding trip very much. Mr. Boon, our birding guide, was a pleasant companion and a superb guide and Mrs. Boon's meals were wonderful. I would gladly recommend this tour to any birders headed for Thailand. Sleeping inside the park near Boon's Karen Hill Tribe village was a big advantage as well as an essential part of the whole experience, and I would be sorry to have missed it. Thanks so much.
