CHI PHAT | Lonely Birder

Situated in the southern Cardamom Mountains in Cambodia is this ecotourism venture promoted by the Widlife Alliance and the village of Chi Phat. It is far enough away from tourist routes, so here you get peace and wildlife, as well as living life in a Cambodian community.

There are different types of lodging, from bungalows at 10$ per person per night, to staying in a double room in a family home in the village for 5$ per night. The guided treks that local guides offer are very interesting, some of which can take several days, while camping in cabins along the way. You can also visit a cave where hundreds of thousands fly out at dusk in search of food.

More than 450 species of bird have been recorded in the area, including montane endemics such as Chestnut-headed Partridge, Lewis’s Silver Pheasant, Cardomom Peafowl and Siamese Partridge. This is also a great area for watching Great and Oriental Pied Hornbills, Green Peafowl and mammals like Asiatic Elephant, Palm Civet and Dhole.

Hotel located in Matalascañas, at the gates of the Doñana National Park. Very good location to visit the Natural and National Park, 15 km from Rocío, marsh with lots of birds and good place to see, with luck, the Iberian lynx. The Acebuche Center is located halfway between these two locations and the Doñana beach is fantastic to see waders and seabirds. The hotel consists of several types of rooms, from simple to familiar and from different categories. The founder of the establishment is a great connoisseur of the area and especially of its birds. They have all kinds of documentaries, high quality photographic material of the birds that could be observed. They make special price to birders customers.

TOUCH STAR RESORT DOI INTHANON

Located at the gates of the National Park of Doi Inthanon, the highest area in Thailand. This park is a must when traveling to the country. Being a high and mountainous area here are many birds that are not seen in other parts of Thailand such as Chestnut-tailed Minla, Green-tailed Sunbird, Rufous-winged Fulvetta, Green Cochoa and many others. The establishment is only one kilometer from the park gates. It has several types of accommodation more basic or luxurious according to the traveler’s preferences. It also has camping, something that is appreciated if you do not have many resources. On the farm there is a spring of mineral water and in the gardens there are good birds more typical of low areas. It has wifi and all the necessary amenities to make the stay as pleasant as possible.
