Thailand Bird Watching Locations Map

The Thailand Bird Watching Locations Directory is designed to give birdwatchers all the information they require on the main birding sites around the country including the species that can be seen at each, information on travel, accommodation, trails and access for birding plus the availability of food; all the information needed for planning and carrying out bird watching trips.

Select the region of Thailand that you want to go birding in from the map or from the text below. The links will take you to a map with all the sites in that region listed and you can select the location you are interested in for detailed information.

1 Northern Thailand

2 North Eastern Thailand

3 Central Thailand

4 Western Thailand

5 South Eastern Thailand

6 Southern Thailand

 
 

I have used these six regions that Thailand is commonly divided into. The six regions more or less define climatic zones of Thailand and in some cases biogeographical regions.

It is a little difficult to define exactly where some of the regions begin and end and it is particularly difficult to exactly pinpoint the western region but the main body of each is fairly easy to establish.

In most cases there are some distinctions in the avifauna of each of the regions so that by travelling in several regions will maximise the number of bird species seen.
