Thailand is a paradise for birds, and therefore also for bird-watchers. Some 992 species or approximately 10% of all the bird species of the world can be found here. Hardly surprising than that this country is acting as a magnet to the bird watchers of the rest of the world.

The cool season is the best time for these ornithologists. It's the time when birds migrate from the cold of more northern places like Mongolia, Siberia, China and Korea, flocking to their ancestral second homes in Southeast Asia. In this part of Thailand, they're particularly attracted to the highest mountains; Doi Inthanon, Doi Angkhang, Doi Pahompok, Doi Suthep and Doi Chiangdao among them, Doi Inthanon is famous for bird-watching in Thailand because there are some 382 species or approximately 38.2% of all the bird species of Thailand.
