Sampran Riverside is a sprawling 70 acre resort on the outskirts of Bangkok. Here is a link: http://sampranriverside.com/.
It is really beautiful and when we arrived at around 1500, I was glad that Rick had set aside time to bird. We checked in and got right back out onto the grounds. We birded. It was awesome. Coppersmith and Lineated Barbet, Ashy Drongo, sunbirds, Asian Koel, oh my! |

The central lands of Thailand are low and subsequently went. The Tha Chin River is a major feature of this area and the resort bordered on it. We made our way down to the river towards dusk. We stood on this platform with the water and vegetation going past us. It was weird and made me a little motion sick.
Towards dusk, Rick spots a bird flying cross river and yells Cinnamon Bittern! Oh, I think I am loving Thailand... |
