“Doi Inthanon is a very nice place to see birds and a nice getaway from Chiang Mai. Do not forget to bring a warmer vest as it can get cold at the top (7degrees of C when we were there).

Spend a day at Phuket Bird Park meeting colorful birds and other friendly animals at close range. You can feed some animals, take photos, and enjoy an open-air break from the beaches.

4.From Khaosok:Half day Bird watching and Wildlife explore

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · from $93

Start at 6:30 am with an English-speaking bird guide, often Jane, and walk from Khao Sok village into the national park. Look for more than 300 bird species, including hornbills, kingfishers, malkohas, and seasonal Asian Paradise Flycatchers. The half-day outing ends around 11 am and includes a lunch box, fruit, water, local transfer, and the 200-baht park fee.

“We were able to experience a very special morning with Jane. The early morning hours were more than worth it: while the first rays of sunshine warmed the park and its wildlife, we were all alone in this enchanting nature. Jane brought us closer to the fascinating bird world with a lot of passion and her trained eye and discovered and lovingly explained many other animals in Khao Sok National Park. We really enjoyed these hours together, and we are grateful for this authentic, personal jungle experience, which we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a real nature experience.Read more”
