-We’ll spend 3 full days at Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest mountain (you can drive to the top, no hiking needed). Here there are a couple of hides at different altitudes where species such as Streaked Spiderhunter, Yellow-cheeked Tit, Orange-bellied Leafbird, Small Niltava, Yunnan Fulvetta, Hill Blue Flycatcher, White- browed Fantail, Ochraceous Bulbul, Pygmy Cupwing, Plumbeous Redstart, Blue Whistling Thrush, Slaty- backed Forktail, White-crowned Forktail and others regularly show.
The summit of the mountain is also good for photos. No stakeouts but a great abundance of birds that are not afraid of people. Sometimes you arrive and not much is happening but spending time up here always gives good photo opportunities; Mrs. Gould’s Sunbird, Chestnut-tailed Minla, Green-tailed Sunbird, Rufous-winged Fulvetta, Black-backed Sibia, Silver-eared Laughingthrush, Ashy-throated Warbler, Davison’s Leaf Warbler, Blyth’s Leaf Warbler and Yellow-browed Tit roam in flocks, often just a few metres away. Rufous-throated Partridge, Pygmy Cupwing, Ashy Woodpigeon, Dark-sided Thrush are a bit harder but often seen and photographed. At this time of the year a low fruiting tree should attract Yellow-bellied Flowerpecker, Grey- sided Thrush and Eyebrowed Thrush. It is a productive spot.
*On Day3: Afternoon transfer to Chiang Mai Air-port or your hotel in Chiang Mai/End of the Trips.
