Our Relaxed Thailand Highlights tour is designed around the very best birding sites in Northern and Central Thailand, offering a superb selection of spectacular and sought-after Southeast Asian specials, along with a huge array of migrants from the north, which spend the frigid winters in these warmer climates. Time will be spent exploring the wetlands near Bangkok where we stand excellent chances of finding the critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Nordmann’s Greenshank and Chinese Egret. Major reserves visited include Kaeng Krachan, Khao Yai and Doi Lang where targets include the stunning Green Peafowl, Siamese Fireback, Silver Pheasant, gorgeous Silver-breasted Broadbill, Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo, Blue Pitta, White-rumped Falcon, Ratchet-tailed Treepie, Green Cochoa – and much more! In addition, 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

Forrest Rowland
AM, Thailand 2019

"This was my first Rockjumper trip and I have never before done an extended birding bird out of Australia. I have nothing but praise for the whole operation. Our local guide & Forrest were fantastic and are both to be commended for their knowledge, expertise, patience & energy. Was wonderful having 2 experts with us."

André Bernon
DH & JH, Thailand 2018

All our expectations for this trip were met and exceeded, beginning with our guide Andre Bernon, who is a delight in and out of the field. Fantastic birding skills and people skills, a great combination for a guide.

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.

Robert Williams
MS - Thailand 2019

The guides, Rob Williams and Uthai Treesucon, were top notch and helped us to see many species of birds. We were allowed time to view or photograph them. They worked well together. Uthai was very good to the drivers, an important part of the trip. Rob was passionate, funny, very sociable and somehow managed to locate a frogmouth in a banana grove. It was a great privilege to be with Uthai. He taught me a lot about Thai customs, and was patient with everyone in the group. He helped me when I got sick, and he noticed if someone hadn't seen a bird, and tried to get them on it. The trip was beautifully planned and somehow we were wheels up at 6 am every day. It was a very well planned trip.
