Birdwatching Tours in Khao Yai National Park
Home to several hundred different types of bird species, Khao Yai National Park is undoubtedly one of the best destinations in Thailand for birding trips. A few of the exciting birds seen in the park include oriental pied, great, brown, and wreathed hornbills; ground-dwelling birds like the silver pheasant and Siamese fireback; red-headed and orange-breasted trogons; and several pitta, barbet, owl, and broadbill species, among many others. Our birdwatching tours are private with flexible itineraries accompanied by professional birding guides. We will discuss in advance what you are targeting and decide the destinations accordingly. These tours are suitable for first-timers as well as for experienced birders targeting specific species.
