Bird photography is a fast-growning pastime. Some photographers use the spotting scopes and digital cameras to capture birds. Others, those without financial restrictions, use top-end cameras with massive lens.

Thailand offers wonderful bird photography opportunities. The variety of terrain in Southern Thailand affords a diversity of species. From mangrove to secondary growth to old growth to lowland jungle, Southern Thailand has it all. Though a world famous tourist destination and one that gets inundated with mass tourism, Phuket Island still has all of these terrains.

It is very easy to escape from the hustle and bustle of the daily tourism grind. We wouldn’t live here if Phuket was overly developed. There is plenty to see in Phuket and there is a wonderful variety of birds. It is not unusual to see forty to fifty species of birds in one day in Phuket. During the migratory season, mid-November through March, you may see even more.

Phuket has many species of sunbirds, bulbuls, flowerpeckers, flycatchers, babblers, warblers, raptors, waders and other water birds and a lot more. We offer birding day trips in Phuket. We also offer two-day trips for those who realize that one day isn't long enough to cover most of the more productive spots.
