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, gorgeous Silver-breasted Broadbill, Ratchet-tailed Treepie, Scarlet-faced Liocichla, 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
SK, Thailand 2019

I had a wonderful trip to Thailand with Forrest as our leader. Every aspect of the Rockjumper trip surpassed expectations. From the pre trip support, wonderful fellow trip participants, amazingly delicious food, our helpful and kind Thai drivers, and of course Forrest, who has to be the best guide out there. His energy, enthusiasm and knowledge, along with a patient and friendly demeanor makes him a joy to be with. Kudos to the Rockjumper organization and I look forward to taking part in a future tour.

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
LM, Thailand - Southern Extension II 2025

Both guides were excellent and complemented each other very well.

Robert Williams
DM, Thailand 2023

Great tour, logistics we excellent, bird finding was great, both leaders were excellent at finding and identifying birds

Glen Valentine
MB, Thailand - Asian Birding at its Best (Small Group) 2026

This was a great tour! Glen is so gifted at finding and hearing birds, and remembers for weeks if someone missed a bird to help them see it the next time. He is also such a nice and positve person in general. The local guide Uthai was a little curt at times, but so knowledgeable and endearing by the end of the trip. He always ordered food in advance so we ate as soon as we got to the restaurants, and the food was excellent. The trip does have a couple long 14-hour days when we did night-birding before returning to the hotel. My suggestion to Glen was to take a short break after lunch in the vans for a nap or a rest when there is a midday lull in the birds. I am hoping to do a future tour with Glen as a guide! Thank you.
