Arriving at Doi Inthanon

Today we left Mae Ping and made our way up to Doi Inthanon where we had a late afternoon session at the top ie 2500mtrs. It was a cool 13 degrees but had dropped to 4 degrees the previous night. We made our way to the boardwalk thanks to some excellent advice from Dave to stake out Rufous-throated Partridge. We were not disappointed with two showing really well at about 5.15 after the visitors had gone. The boardwalk held other good birds with 2 Dark-sided Thrushes, 3 Yellow-capped Tits, and single Woodcock, Snowy-browed Flycatcher, White-crowned Forktail and a showy Ashy Woodpigeon.
After an excellent meal at Mr Deang’s we returned to our room to find the eight legged friend shown below. Eunice is not happy!
