New Birding Trip: Jewels of the South
From February 22nd to March 5th, we'll be running a new birding itinerary that encompasses some of the best birding spots in the entire southern region of Thailand. Destinations include Phuket (still offering wonderful and very easy birding), Phang Nga Province, Khao Sok, Phi Phi Island, Khao Luang National Park, Krung Ching, Khao Pu Khao Ya, Thale Noi, Khao Nor Chuchi, Krabi and the Similan Islands.
Except for a few species, such as the Rhinocerous Hornbill which is found in the deepest south, you'll have a chance to see almost every bird that Southern Thailand offers.
This birding trip is being run in conjunction with Birding Ecotours out of South Africa and the international birding tour leader is Mr. Duan Biggs. Ms. Games, our licensed Thai guide, will also accompany this special trip.

New Trip : Full Moon Night Cycling
(any moon actually)
We
have a new cycling route on Phuket that is perfectly suited to night
riding. The majority of the route is on dirt on
either single track trails or dirt roads. The rest is on nice secondary
concrete roads. The entire route is off of the standard tourism path.
This ride is suitable for experience mountain bikers. If you're not comfortable making quick decisions and if you're not very familiar with changing gears without having to check to see what gear you're in, it's best that you join one of our daytime mountain biking routes. We have a variety of routes that range in suitability from beginner to hardcore cycling nuts!
We can run a night ride anytime we have at least two guests. We've scheduled several rides based on the full moon. However, having done this route is a torrential downpour, which was hugely fun, it can be run anytime independent of the moon's cycle. As with all of our tours, everything is included... including lights.
Check in from time to time on our biking site ThaiCycle to see how many new routes we've come up with. We're currently working on another variation of the Coast to Coast that starts on the edge of Phang Nga Bay and ends on the Gulf of Thailand coastline.
We've been busy putting videos on YouTube, including many mountain biking videos, a video of elephants playing in the reservoir in Khao Sok and a piece on making bamboo flooring for building a jungle survival shelter.

You can see some recent elephant photos here (taken in August of 2009 at Khao Sok National Park). We've been seeing elephants on almost every trip for the past year. We've been seeing Malayan Sun Bears rather often too!
