Thailand forest birding

Carrying a heavy lens/camera when birding in dense forest is not easy,
especially when it's difficult enough just to even glimpse a Bird, let alone
photograph one! For most of the time i kept the camera in the van and
concentrated just on birding. I did however, take some images, although
well down on what i would typically take.

We visited Kaeng Krachen, which lies south west from Bangkok and
later the following week, spent time at Doi Chiang Dao and Doi Inthanon
in the north of Thailand. All these areas were excellent and each had it's
own appeal.
