One reader noted:
Between February and April 2006 I tested my copy in the field while birding in Laos: It is an excellent field guide! It is very practical: plastic cover, compact and light enough for field use, texts and illustrations facing each other, good descriptions of species, relevant sub-species, voices, habitats and ranges. In addition the illustrations by 14 different artists are generally good to very good. I recorded about 160 species in two months
Thailand: A Traveller’s Wildlife Guide (Traveller’s Wildlife Guides) Recommended
This eessential guide features full-colour illustrations of nearly 600 of Thailand’s most common insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and coral fish. It provides up-to-date information on the ecology, behaviour, and conservation of the animals. It offers information on Thailand’s habitats and on the most common plants you will encounter. Brief descriptions of Thailand’s most frequently visited parks and reserves.
One reader statets:
Too heavy to be a pocket book, it conversely constitutes a midget encyclopaedia and ideal inflight or sunbed reading. I like the style; the authors start off with Ecotourism instead of slipping in a list of nature reserves at the very end, as though as an after-thought.

Southern Thailand birdwatching: birding tours
Thailand is dominant in Southeast Asian birding. The abundance of tropical birds is unmatched by her neighboring countries. It’s convenient and the birds are plentiful. Khao Sok National Park is certainly one of the most unique bird watching destination in southern Thailand. Khao Sok and Hala Bala are the hornbill capitals of Southern Thailand. Krung Ching is fairly close to Khao Sok and this makes a wonderful combination trip.
Marsh areas such as Thale Noi provide great birding for those interested in seeing water birds. Migratory shorebirds are easy to see from a kayak. The lush jungles, rainforests and marshes of southern Thailand offer birders with many marvelous opportunities.
