Thailand is quite simply the quintessential birding destination of Southeast Asia, boasting a fantastic diversity of habitats ranging from high mountain peaks draped with rhododendron forest to extensive mudflats and saltpans, and dense tropical lowlands resounding with birdsong. This tour is designed to take advantage of the influx of migrants from the north in addition to an amazing array of Asian species, including a host of localised and range-restricted specialities. Siamese Fireback, Silver Pheasant, Great Hornbill, Long-tailed Broadbill, Blue Pitta, Great Slaty and Black-headed Woodpeckers, Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Ratchet-tailed Treepie, Spot-breasted Parrotbill, Giant Nuthatch and Green Peafowl are just some of the potential highlights of this incredible tour.! Furthermore, culturally, Thailand has few equals, and you will have opportunities to visit some of the many spectacular pagodas and shrines that adorn this friendly, varied and spectacular land.

What our clients say about us

Nigel Redman
EA - Thailand 2024

This was my first ever birding tour, so my expectations were not based on any previous experience. I found the birding aspect to be stellar, with many new species added to my life list. The tour leader and the tour guide were both superb. Transportation was very comfortable in vans with captain's chairs.

André Bernon
JB, Thailand 2020

"Andre and our local guide were a terrific team. Travelling with the author of the Birds of Thailand was quite a treat. Andre catered to the needs of each participant. He was kind enough to lend me his extension cord which was quite helpful in hotels with few electric outlets. At the end of the tour he helped with transportation and overnight hotel prior to our flight out. Both guides were fantastic, skilled and capable birders. The food was plentiful and good. Overall this was a terrific trip with lots of beautiful sightings and many birds. We look forward to travelling with Rockjumper again."

André Bernon
LM, Thailand - Asian Birding at its Best II 2025

Both the Rockjumper guide, Andre Bernon, and the local guide, Uthai Treesucon, were excellent. They were superior at identifying birds by sight and sound and at getting everyone to see them. Both were very patient. I appreciated that we birded from dawn to dusk most days. They took care of us very well including trips to the pharmacy when needed. Uthai ordered the meals in advance so that we did not waste a lot of time looking at menus and we had the opportunity to try many different dishes. Our meals were generally ready as soon as we arrived at the restaurants/lodges. The vans were very comfortable and the drivers were kind and helpful. Jiang and Lif prepared tea/coffee and snacks from the back of the van and set out lawn chairs for us midmorning every day. They also prepared a you-tube video of our trip that I really appreciated. The only improvement that I would suggest is to try to schedule visits to the major national parks, like Doi Inthanon for example, during the week and to avoid arriving there on weekends or holidays. The parks were crowded and the traffic was bad when we were there.

André Bernon
DC, Thailand 2018

Andre Bernon and Uthai formed a great team and complemented one another in finding all the birds and then getting everybody on to them.

André Bernon
BD, Thailand 2020

My Rockjumper guide, Andre Bernon, is the best guide I have birded with. I continue to be amazed at his impressive birding skills and he will do whatever it takes to make sure that his guests see the birds. I saw so many awesome birds on this tour because Andre would sometimes physically place me in the right spot so I could see the bird. How many guides have that much dedication to their guests? His excellent guiding skills ensured that all logistics of the birding tour went smoothly. Andre can read his guests and he knows when breaks are needed to avoid fatigue and frustration. His time management skills enabled his guests to arrive at their accommodations on time so that they could enjoy the check list, dinner and relaxation each evening. And Andre's wit and sense of humor made this a very fun birding tour.
