Petchaburi is a province of Thailand to the southwest of Bangkok. Coastal mudflats, salt farms, rice fields, lowland tropical forest and montaine forest habitats mean that it has one of the most diverse avifauna of any region of Southeast Asia. I frequently take other birders to this area as it is a fairly short journey from Bangkok to see lots of superb birds in a short time frame and did so again between 31st Jan and 2nd Feb 2022 with two British bird watchers.
