Thailand 11/12/13

We left Baan Maka early to get to the hides at Ban Sang Nok. Then slowly making our way into Kaeng Krachan NP we had many stops all the way up to Paneon Tong Campsite where we spent the rest of the light birding the campsite, which turned up some good bits. Even better the tents were already up on arrival. The drive up to the top is 4x4 only with a couple of steep-sided streams to compete against, which Chris enjoyed.
