THAILAND

We have just returned from a birding trip to Thailand and sorry to say, from a birding point of view, it was the worst trip we have done. We did get the Spoonie which is what most birders go to Thailand for but over-all the birding was hard and we only saw a fraction of what we expected. The country itself is, in places, very beautiful and the people are lovely but we did suffer in the humidity and mosi bites were plentiful. Sue also got a leech in her boot which bled like mad.
