September is the most wet season of Thailand and also the worst time for birding there. During the 3 days birding trip at Khao Yai National Park, half of the time was raining. Most of the birds did not call and were hiding inside the forest. However, it was a quite enjoyable trip for birding oversea (in a national park of tropical forest habitat) and we got 109 species during the trip.
