Chiang Mai Birding Guide. Birding in Thailand in recent years had organised the itinerary and was to be our guide. The rarest bird to be commonly spotted here is the Giant Nuthatches Sitta Magna.
Situated at the base of Doi Chiang Dao Thailands third highest mountain and on the edge of Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary Malees is a great base for birdwatchers to explore the areaA total of at least 450 species have been identified in area with new species added annually and others no doubt waiting to be discovered. The bus journey takes about 9-10 hours the train takes about 17 hours and the plane takes about 45 minutes. Species names in this report follow Clements but in some cases I have given alternative names in brackets.
Includes transportation by private air conditioned van lunch bottled water.
The Humes Pheasant named after the wife of a British ornithologist.

I studied very hard to learn to speak English and in 1991 also trained as a tourist guide at Chiang Mai University. Anyone who knows birding will know it is always much better to go with a local guide who knows the best places to spot the various birds.
