A Report from birdtours.co.uk

Thailand 2000/2001,

Phil and Charlotte Benstead, Norfolk, UK

phil.benstead@tesco.net

This trip report covers two periods spent in Thailand during a year-long Asian birding trip which provided a chance to see some long sought after species. Thailand is an ideal hub if you are planning a long trip in Asia as air tickets are discounted as low as they can possibly go. Shop at travel agencies along the Khao San Road. We can personally recommend the I.B.S Travel Co. Ltd, 108/11 Soi Rambutri, Kaosan Road (tel: 282 9483) - consistently the cheapest and very efficient.

We thank Phil Round for providing so much valuable information on the lesser-known sites. We also thank the following birders for companionship and advice along the way; Paul Batchelor and Julia, Ben Blewitt, Raf Drijvers and Elke, Chris Hines, Bob Roberts, Simon Roberts and Jane, and Uthai Treesucon.

Site details

Khao Yai        28/10 to 1/11/00
Yet another visit to this classic site. Few new birds this time but did catch up with heart-spotted woodpecker and had a possible ringtail hen harrier over the Non Pak Chi clearing.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
We took a bus from Bangkok's New Northern Bus Station to Pak Chong for B110. From there we took a songtaew (pickup with a double row of seats) to the Park gates and then hitched to the Park HQ after paying the B200 (B = baht) entrance fee. We stayed in the old dormitory about 1 km from the Park Headquarters, which costs just B20 a night. Watch out for rats, store all food securely. This accommodation is being replaced shortly. If you stay in the park, you avoid having to repeatedly pay the quite high entrance fee. There is also a campsite and a range of higher priced chalet accommodation. Food is available at the concession stands by the Park HQ.

Bird along the trail system, trail 6 is a gem (eared pitta and ground-cuckoo) and trail 1 to the waterfall is good too. Birding the first 2 km of the road to the radar station (junction near the old TAT restaurant) in the morning is good for Siamese fireback. Make the effort to visit the bat caves just outside the park, the bats are an amazing spectacle and occasionally attract Oriental hobbies.

4/11 to 7/11     Chiang Dao
Really enjoyed this site, though it was too wet to get up the track to Den Ya Khat easily. Staying with Malee was excellent; some birders have stayed months here!

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
From Chiang Mai take a local bus from the White Elephant Gate to Chiang Dao (c 2.5 hours). Get off in Chiang Dao at the turn-off to the Chiang Dao caves (signed off the main road on the Thaton end of town). Malee's Nature Lover's Bungalows are about 1 km beyond the caves. Hitch from the junction or take a motorbike taxi.

Malee is a splendid hostess, making a relaxed atmosphere and good food. Expect to pay B300 for a two-bed bungalow. Budget bunks are available too. Malee can also arrange transport to nearby Den Ya Khat sub-station - a must-bird location holding Hume's pheasant and giant nuthatch (see below). To contact Malee telephone (01) 9618387 or email maleenature@hotmail.com. Malee also has a website www.maleenature.homepage.com.

November was quiet - like elsewhere in Thailand during the early winter period. Birding is much better in late winter (Feb-March). Malee has a logbook that will detail recent sightings on the trails around the temple and up the mountain.

8/11 to 10/11   Doi Ang Khan
Could not resist re-visiting this site (last visited in 1989). Perhaps slightly better for birds these days, we bumped into some good flocks. Enjoyed the ambience of the place once again, an exciting mixture of cross-border shenanigans and the hint of opium. Highlights included red-faced liocichla, white-bellied redstart and yellow-streaked warbler.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Turn off the main road between Chiang Mai and Fang at km 137. If travelling by bus get off here and wait for a songtaew to Ban Khoom. We stayed in the dilapidated A-frame bungalows on the hill behind the village for a truly awful price of B250 (haggled down from some astronomical figure after a 1 hour battle). Eat in the excellent Chinese Muslim restaurant next door to the big restaurant overlooking the village square. We birded back up the main road - km 23-21 were very good. Also birded the trail that leads into Myanmar - it contours out of the south end of the village and over the ridge (good for the finchbill). We could not find the 'plastic pipe' trail that leads off the road on the left after about 1.5 km from the village. It is very good apparently.

11/11 to 14/11 Thaton
Another site I last visited in 1989 and one that has changed enormously since. This site used to consist of traditional wet paddy ricefields and now has a mixture of agriculture and plantations and a new pipe-irrigated form of rice cultivation that seems a lot drier than previously. Net result many fewer waders, pipits and buntings. Still had some excellent birds including a staggering flock of 40 Amur falcons. Also here Eurasian hobby, northern goshawk, small pratincole and the wonderful pied harrier.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Thaton is at the end of the line for the bus that runs from the White Elephant Gate in Chiang Mai. We stayed at Garden Home (north side of river down a side road to the left). Very pleasant bungalow in a mango orchard for B300. Plenty of budget accommodation available here as it is a popular back-packer hang-out. To reach the paddies from here cross the river and turn left down the road that leads past the Apple Guesthouse. Search the riverside for Jerdon's bushchat and tramp around what is left of the paddies. There are some permanent pools that still attract birds. Thaton is still a great place to score a good Thai tick, recent good birds include short-eared owl and merlin.

16/11 to 22/11 Doi Intanon
Great to get back here too! Mr Daeng was in robust health and good form. Camped at the campsite which was a bit noisy but close to the black-tailed crake site - best bird here. Other highlights included; sapphire flycatcher, lots of ashy woodpigeons and russet bush warbler. Met up with Bob Roberts here and he provided a welcome break from all the foot-slogging of the last few weeks by ferrying us around in his car.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Take bus from Chiang Mai to Chom Tong. If you arrive before 1000 you will pick up the regular songtaew up to Doi Intanon (otherwise charter one). Get off at the Park HQ at km 31. Range of accommodation here - Park bungalows cost from B300 and camping is B30/night. If you are nice to Daeng who runs the birders restaurant on the left just after the Park HQ complex he will offer one of his rooms to you for free. He may even come out birding with you around the summit marsh trail if he has time. There are jeep tracks off the main summit road at km 34 and km 37 (just after the checkpoint) which are well worth spending time on. The summit marsh is excellent but get on the boardwalk early to avoid the masses. There is also a new nature trail on the left just after the stupa complex, you technically need a permit and a guide to walk this although the trail is straightforward and you can easily walk it before the park rangers get up in the morning. It has some high grassland clearings that held russet bush warbler when we were here.

24/11   Huai Kong Krai and Doi Suthep
Day trip on a hired moped - pretty chilly pre-dawn! Arrived at the mini-zoo and immediately connected with the wild flock of green peafowl that were our target birds. Odd way to tick them but there is no hunting in this royal reserve so they could well be genuine. Also briefly visited Doi Suthep but nothing of note recorded.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Best to hire a moped in Chiang Mai or use a hire car. Take the Chiang Rai road out of Chiang Mai (initially signed to Doi Sakhet district). Carry on along this road following Chiang Rai signs until just after the km 24 post where a large sign in English stands beside a right-hand turn. Turn right here and continue for 4.5 km past two barriers. After the second barrier park and walk 100 m along a small lake on the right. Turn right at the end of the dam into the mini-zoo. Early morning before everyone wakes up is best to see the wild peafowl that loaf in this area. They are wary and move off when zoo staff start moving around. The gate may look locked but check it. No one seems to mind you wandering about here. We visited Doi Suthep briefly whilst we had the moped. It is a big tourist trap on the outskirts of Chiang Mai - you cannot miss it.

26/11 to 30/11 Mae Wong
This was the first site on the trip that I had not already been to. It did not disappoint us either producing a run of highly sought after birds such as rufous-necked hornbill, besra, pin-tailed green pigeon, striated yuhina and coral-billed scimitar-babbler. A single pompadour green pigeon (male) was unusual at such high altitude (1300 metres).

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Mae Wong is 20 km south of Khlong Lan. If driving from Bangkok take highway 1 to Nakhon Sawan. Follow the highway for another 8 km until turning to Lad Yao. From Lad Yao take the road to Ban Khao Chon Kam (approximately 50 km) At the intersection turn right onto road to Khlong Lan (approx 43 km). In Khlong Lan turn left for the last 20 km to the Park. If you come  at it from Kamphaeng Phet, take highway 1 south. After 6km turn right at Ban Khlong Mae Lai and follow road all the way to the park (approx 75 km). We chartered a songtaew from Kamphaeng Phet (B700) all the way to Chong Yen sub-station. If coming by bus from Bangkok, take a bus from the Northern terminal to Khlong Lan (departs three times a day, takes 5.5 hours). From there hire a motorbike or songtaew to Chong Yen.

When you get to the park, pay for your permits (B100/person plus B30 for a vehicle) and drive the rough road a further 28 km to Chong Yen sub-station. You can camp or stay in basic accommodation here. Bring your own food and cooking pot, we were provided with a small brazier and some charcoal.

We had a pair of rufous-necked hornbill over the campsite one morning, we caught up with these birds and they appeared to be prospecting for nest holes. November is supposed to be the best month for seeing hornbills here. Bird along the gated road that carries on after the campsite at Chong Yen. Spend one evening at the swimming spot by the HQ as a crested kingfisher regularly flies past at dusk. If you have time consider climbing Doi Mo Ko Chu which is very good birding but takes 6-7 days and porters/guides. Burmese yuhina is ofetn reported around the campsite.

30/11   Beung Boraphet
The first of two visits to this excellent wetland revealed a shedload of trip ticks in a relatively short visit. But no sign of the hoped for Asian golden weavers (best in spring).

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Stay in nearby Nakhon Sawan (on Route 1). You can take a taxi to either the north end of the lake (Fishery Research station and crocodile pen) or the south side (boats for hire). Getting out on a boat is essential for getting to grips with the large numbers of wildfowl that use this site in the winter. Baer's pochard are regular.

2/12, 4/12 and 5/12     Khok Kham
Excellent site, consisting of large areas of saltpans some of which had large numbers of terns and waders. We were here looking for the one or two spoon-billed sandpipers that frequent the area in the winter. Whilst we searched we located small numbers of great knot and Asian dowitcher before finally getting superb views of a single spoon-billed sandpiper at close range.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
We took a songtaew to Khok Kham sakhon from Samut Sakhon. Get dropped off at the Birders Centre, if anyone is here they will take care of you and get you into the field. If not carry on up the road for 200 meters and turn right over the river. Carry on until you get to the T-junction by the large school (Phantai Norasingh school - on reclaimed mangroves). Turn left and continue on for 3 km along laterite and tarmac road. Spoon-billed sandpipers were favouring saltpans on the right. Get current information on their whereabouts from the internet. To get precise directions for getting there in your own vehicle search the archives of the Oriental birding discussion group - to join go to http://groups.yahoo.com. We stayed in Samut Sakhon but you can crash at the birding centre in Khok Kham sometimes.

6/12 to 11/12   Kaeng Krachan
Fantastic area of forest. Managed to hitch in and spent our days getting lifts uphill and walking back down to the campsite. 'Luckily' it was a long weekend holiday so plenty of Thais were present to give us lifts in and out. Pretty noisy but. Lots of good birds here including; ratchet-tailed treepie and plain-pouched hornbill.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
If getting there by public transport take a songtaew from Phetchaburi all the way to the village before the HQ and then take a motorbike taxi the last few kilometres. We hitched in from the Park HQ and then camped. Entrance permit is B200 and it costs B30 per night to camp. Take all your own food and cooking utensils. We cooked over a wood fire. If we had not arrived during a holiday weekend I doubt we would have managed to hitch in and out of the park at all - so we were lucky. The park will try and charge you B1800 for a lift in and out of the park, a bit steep but may tempt some. Mopeds are not allowed in the park so hiring a 4WD car is a must. If you do this try to avoid weekends as this park gets very busy.

We birded along the access road, usually hitching up to km 30-31 and walking back to the campsite at km 15 during the day. Superb forest.

13/12   Chumphon
Day tripped the nearby mangroves at Don Mamuang by moped and then hiring a boat. Pleasant afternoon sitting in the boat waiting for our target species - pale-capped pigeon. Eventually had excellent flight views of about ten birds (mostly males?). We could have seen more by staying closer to dusk.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Chumphon is on the main route south, plenty of hotels to choose from in this touristy area. We hired a moped and drove down route 41 from the main crossroads outside Chumphon. Turn left just after km post 14, on road to Ban Don Mamuang. The village is 1.5 km away at the end of this road. Ask for Som Choke (aka Khai) and he will take you out for B100-150 per hour. We used another boatman and he was happy to oblige. Just take your boat down to where the mangrove channel exits to the sea. Moor up here in the shade and wait until late afternoon when the pigeons start to fly about.

15/12 to 17/12 Krabi
Saddened to find that Mr Dai had become a bit too pricey but good to be back in Krabi. Took a normal boatman out for waders on one day and had an excellent five hours on a rising tide at Bird Island. Splendid views of Nordmann's greenshank feeding and even had a single Malaysian plover (unusual off sand). Met Raf Drijver's which was pleasant and exchanged gen. Also saw a few mangrove birds (brown-winged kingfisher being a highlight) and took the boat out to PP for a crack at seabirds but nothing doing (nice lunch though).

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Krabi is easily reached by bus from all over Thailand and has a range of accommodation for all tastes/budgets. We did not use Mr Dai - he now charges B500 an hour which is an astonishing amount. If finfoot is present then do it, otherwise think twice. Most boatman in Krabi charge B150 an hour and know many of the good birding locations. We visited Chan Phen Travel but found that Mrs Lee no longer works there and the new proprietors were very rude (unusual in Thailand). Do not bother with this place anymore. If you need Dai it is easy enough to find him along the waterfront near Chan Phen and you will get a cheaper deal going direct to him. If you want to do the waders it is easy without Dai, just ask the boatman to drop you on Ko Nok (island out in the river mouth with a white light tower on it) on a rising tide. Good for Nordmann's greenshank and Chinese egret. You can get excellent views of the waders as they feed madly before high tide pushes them off to roost. On your way back check out the fish nets and look for the roost on the right hand side of the river mouth. We also birded behind the Krabi Meritime hotel (on the main drag before town by satellite dish building). There is a boat jetty out the back where it is possible to see a range of mangrove birds without getting muddy.

18/12 to 22/12 Thale Ban
Good site marred by a lack of good trails (both in disrepair). No doubt had a number of Thai ticks here as it is slap bang on the border with Malaysia. We did a visa run here with no difficulty, walked to the border from the National Park (30 minutes) and walked in and out of Malaysia in 15 minutes. Highlights here included; ferruginous flycatcher, hornbills and woodpeckers.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Take a songtaew from Satun or if coming from Krabi get off the Satun bus at Chalung and take a songtaew to the junction of the road to Thale Ban National Park (Khuan Sataw). Take a motorbike taxi the last 22 km along route 4184. Buses from Hat Yai along route 406 pass this junction. There was no entrance fee here. At the park stay in the bungalows (B300). Food is available but the opening hours of the restaurant are a little odd (0830-1630). Food is available in the evenings at the restaurant by the border crossing (about 2.5 km away!).

We birded along the road up to the border and tried hard along the trails but found them hard to follow at best. This site could be very good if a useable trail system was in place.

23/12 to 28/12 Koh Bulon Leh
Spent Christmas here, doing little but the occasional snorkelling session. Had excellent views of large hawk cuckoo here and the casuarinas around our bungalow often held a noisy flock of Oriental pied hornbill. Not a birding site by any stretch of the imagination, the coral here has also been extensively damaged by 'bleaching' and storms. If you fancy going here to chill out - look it up in the Lonely Planet guide.

2001

4/1 to 12/1       Khao Yai
A fourth visit for me and finally at the right time of year. It made all the difference and aside from meeting lots of visiting birders we also got to grips with the specialities; Siamese fireback, eared pitta and coral-billed ground-cuckoo to name a few. At last!

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
See earlier entry above.

13/1 to 14/1     Beung Boraphet
A second longer visit to this site produced some nice birds including thick-billed warbler, white-shouldered starling and plain-backed sparrow.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
See earlier entry above.

11/3 to 12/3     Chiang Dao
Revisited this site in order to go to Den Ya Khat. Not much seen due to bad (and very unseasonal) rain and spent much of the time resting but did manage poor views of rusty-naped pitta and had a flock of striated yuhina.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
See earlier entry above.

13/3     Doi Ang Khan
Day trip with Simon Roberts was pleasant and resulted in our first mountain bamboo partridge. Superb!

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
See earlier entry above.

14/3 to 16/3     Den Ya Khat
Without a doubt this was the highlight of our time in Thailand. Fantastic site and some great birds. Only spent a little time here due to all the rain we had during this short leg in Thailand but managed to see several groups of Hume's pheasant, giant nuthatch, grey-sided thrush and pale-footed bush warbler.

Getting there, accommodation and birding the site
Malee can arrange transport to this remote sub-station. Make sure you get a permit from the Wildlife Dept office (just up the road from Malee's) before you go. March to May is best for the pheasant. We paid B1200 for the two way ride. Rangers at the station found us a room  (B200) to sleep in (the weather was unusually wet In March 2001). Ordinarily camping would not be a problem. We cooked over an open fire in a small shed. We birded along the access track and also along the very good trail that leads off the lefthand side of the station clearing.

17/3 to 19/3     Doi Intanon
A return visit to this site failed to turn up the hoped for cochoas but did finally produce white-gorgeted flycatcher (km 37 jeep track) and dark-sided thrush (summit marsh boardwalk).
