Local Birdwatchers
Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| Hi Par, I want to thank you for an amazing experience - you worked very hard, and so did I! But, the results were worth it all. My highlights would definitely be the Spoonbilled Sandpiper, Silver Oriole, Blue-bearded Bee-eater, all the Kingfishers, and Stonechat. I thought Khao Yai was fantastic and we will spend more time there next time. Cheers, K C Choo, Canada, www.kcchoophoto.com Hello Par and Pank, We enjoyed the trip very much. No commplaint from anyone. Steven like your company service better than from the other company...so He want to go again in December with BirdEco. Do not worry ...we are only 50% birder...So saw so many lifer in this trip and is very happy. I think altogether he spotted about 25 lifers. Steven (sharkspin) got his Indian Roller/Green Bee-eater and Hoopoe....and he have good food so he is very happy. Me? I got many action shot of Gulls and terns in breeding plumage. Also got the Green Bee-eater nest...so I am happy. We had a good time ....and enjoyed having MAC and Pank to be our guide too. I will definately plan another trip to Thailand and will definately use WildBirdEco because of the good service and more importantly ...because of my friends who are WildBirdEco. Or maybe Sharkspin will plan ...he is hooked. Hilary Hoe, Singapore, www.fleetingvisions.com/ | ||||||

Dave Williams is a life-long naturalist, avid outdoorsman, bird fanatic and the director of PaddleAsia Co. Ltd. based in
Thailand PaddleAsia offers small group and private paddling and birding trips to Khao Sok National Park, the smaller national parks throughout Southern Thailand and Phuket. Dave’s true passion in life is spotting wildlife in Khao Sok National Park. PaddleAsia pioneered kayaking in Cheow Reservoir in Khao Sok. Seven species of hornbills are often seen in the park along with
a host of other exotic birds. Dave has lived in Southern Thailand since January 93 and knows Khao Sok better than anyone. If you’re limited for time, PaddleAsia offers one-day and two-day trips in Phuket. Despite being a well-worn mass tourism destination, Phuket still harbors a lot of birds. Fees: Khao Sok three-day trip US$360 per person, Khao Sok four-day trip US$450 per person, Phuket one-day birding trip US$70 per person for a two-person group or US$60 for three or more birders. The single-person rate is US$100 per person. Custom trips are available. Mention that you found us on Birdingpal and get a 10% discount. Visit my web site There's no doubt in my mind that we wouldn't have spotted half of what we did without your expert assistance and local knowledge, and the fact that I added a whopping 29 new species to my life list in one day sent me away very pleased with my day's ornithology. Mr. Tim Kenny. The day with Ian and Games in Phuket was one of the best birding days I've ever had. Life tick after life tick. You cannot put a price of that kind of local knowledge. Exceeded all my expectations. Mr. Paul Mealing. | ||||||
