Khao Yai Bird Watching

Khao Yai National Park is Thailand's second largest, covering 2,168 sq km,  encompassing  11 districts and 4 provinces; Nakhon Ratchasima, Prachin Buri, Sara  Buri, and Nakhon  Nayok. It was Thailand's first National Park, and was established on  September 18, 1962.  It was originally known as 'The National Park Heritage of Asian  Group Countries'. Khao Yai  National Park has within its boundaries many thick,  flourishing forests, and a plentiful  supply of wildlife, such as families of Gaurs,  Elephants, Tigers, Gibbons, Deer, and wild  pigs, etc.

This park is the source of five  important waterways: the Prachin Buri, Nakhon  Nayok, Lamtaplung, Lamtacong, and  Hui Muak Lek Rivers.

Khao Yai is located 400 m and higher above sea level, making it cooler and more  pleasant than the hot, humid lowlands in Central Thailand. The dry season that lasts  from November to February, when most people tend to visit, has temperatures that  can fall as low as 4-6 degrees Celsius. The cool weather and clear skies make this the  favorite season for hiking and bird watching. But we are recommended you to take  some warm clothing with you when you go. The hot season in Khao Yai is between  March and April, followed by the May to October rainy season. The park is open during  the rainy season, but traveling on foot is rather difficult, and you should take heavy  raingear and leech medicine...

With over 300 species of resident and migratory  birds,  including: Great and Wreathed hornbills,  Barbets,  Scarlet Minivet, Trogons, Broadbills, Pitas,  Pigeons,  Mountain scops-Owl, Great Slaty  Woodpecker, Collared  Owlet, Blue-winged leaf bird,  Asian Fairy bluebird,  Greater Racket-tailed Drongo,  Green Magpie, 3 species  of laughing thrush and many  types of Bulbuls. In Khao  Yai also have many Silver  Pheasants, Scaly breasted  Partridges, Red Junglefowl  and Siamese Fierback. Near  the rivers and ponds we  may find White-throated  Kingfisher, Prinia, Zitting  cisticola and many more...
