I would like to thank all those bird watchers who have written trip reports over the years and who have allowed me to reproduce those reports on this website together with those that I have written about my own trips; this collection provides a valuable resource for visiting birders.

The information contained within this collection of reports will help bird watchers to plan their own trips to Thailand. Information on transport and travel, accommodation, bird watching sites and, of course, where and how to find Thailand's birds, can be found by reading through these accounts of birding vacations in various parts of the country.

I have arranged these reports in sections to match the regions that they cover; multi-regional tours have their own section and a couple of reports appear in a couple of relevant sections. Hopefully, by arranging them in this way it will make it easier for birders to find the information that they are looking for. You will see that there are many reports for some regions and fewer for others - this reflects their popularity and, to some level, the quality of the birding.

Remember that things change quickly in a country like Thailand and this means that the information in the most recent report is likely to be the most useful.

This collection of bird watching trip reports will continure to grow as I write up more of the trips that I go on but also I hope to receive further contributions from other birders. If you have a trip report that you would like to add please e-mail it to me in Word format to nickupton@thaibirding.com Thank you.
