A very exciting addition to our avifauna since a couple of years back is the White-faced Plover. There is only one confirmed individual here this year at Lampakbia but this individual has proven to be reliable.
Sometimes during hightide it does move away a bit from the sandspit but always reappears as the tide begins to go down.
Isn't he a charmer?
Daytrips out of Bangkok The following are a few sites that I regularly take visiting birders to. I often do one site in the morning and another in the afternoon and sometimes even fit in one midday. Depending on the time of year number of birds seen will vary. Most migrants are here from September – April yet there are others that only visit in May-August. I find it very fulfilling for people on business or others with limited time circumstances to invest in a guided trip with someone that not only knows the birds but also how to get around and has years of experience living in Thailand.

I really miss Thai shorebirds. It's been a long long time...
Hope I'll be able to make a short trip somewhere during the christmas holiday before going back to Thailand to see some shorebirds around the bay in Fukuoka. However, the number of birds are not as large as in Thailand.
There are definitely at least 2 Spoon-billed Sandpipers at Laem Pak Bia, they have slightly different plumages and I have seen them next to each other.
