Highlights

Summary

Summary

East Asia is a superb destination for the wildlife photographer, as countries in this region are catering for the rising demand of wildlife photography from their locals. The use of blinds, in often well-lit areas, are ideal to capture the perfect shot for a whole host of brightly-coloured birds and seldom-seen mammals. Thailand, with its myriad national parks and plethora of bird blinds is a stunning destination to patiently seek out species such as Blue Pitta, Kalij Pheasant, White-throated Rock Thrush and a variety of laughingthrushes and babblers coming to feed. These areas also attract the likes of Lesser Mouse Deer, while Asian Elephants are often encountered roaming the open fields. However, time will also be spent along tracks where many birds show particularly well. This tour will incorporate the finest national parks in the country, as well as giving a possibility of viewing one of the rarest birds in the world - the Spoon-billed Sandpiper. 

This will be a slow-paced holiday with no level of fitness required. An expert UK-based wildlife photographer will also be joining you on this tour, along with a local Thai expert photographer, ensuring this tour is perfect for beginners or experienced photographers alike. 

  • Wildlife photography at its very best
  • Asian Elephants, White-handed Gibbons, langurs and Lesser Mouse Deer
