Species seen during our holiday starting in Bangkok, round Thailand and then up Vietnam to Hong Kong. All sites are in Thailand unless otherwise stated. The 'trek' was a three day trip from Chiang Mai - one and a half days walking in the forest, then a day downstream on a raft.
The naming convention is taken from 'An Annotated Checklist of the Birds of the Oriental Region' by Inskipp, Lindsey and Duckworth.
