Articles

Here is a collection of articles which are relevant to bird watching in Thailand; a number of which have been contributed by others and some of which I have written myself.

Many of these pages contains information that can be used to plan a bird watching trip to Thailand; there is information on migration, common birds, pittas and general birding although readers will have to glean the information for themselves from these articles as they are mostly written in a journalistic style.

Other of these pages contain information about conservation issues concerning birds in Thailand as well as short items of news relevant to birding in Thailand. Reading a number of these will contribute to a good overall knowledge of birds and conservation in Thailand.

Similar articles from others would be very welcome in order to pass on information that may help birders who are visiting or live in Thailand.

If anybody has articles to submit to this section of the website please contact me and send a copy in Word or PDF format. Thank you.
