Doi Inthanon National Park

We flew north out of Bangkok to the city of Chiang Mai.  From there we took a 2 day birding trip to Doi Inthanon National Park -- home to almost half of the known bird species in Thailand.  We had organized a guide -- and with his help we spotted about 100 species!  Some we were able to view for extended periods of time; others just a fraction of a second.  But we went 12 hours a day....and had a great time.

Alan's favorite bird was the Mrs. Gould Sunbird; mine was the Scarlett Minivet.

The highest peak in Thailand is at the Park....morning temps were about 40...

Saw many butterflies along the trail
