After our meeting in Bangkok(BKK), we spent two nights at the Nana resort just outside Kaeng Krachan(KK) National Park, a 3 hour drive from Bangkok. Just an hour outside BKK, we stopped for lunch at an unpretentious but very good seafood restaurant called Daeng Seafood restaurant….as good as it was unexpected! We had a veritable feast at very reasonable charges…
Daeng Seafood restaurant, apparently former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra dines here regularlywonderful prawn dish….don’t miss this restaurant if your’re driving to KKNP
Replete, we drove on another 1.5 hours to the KK Park area where we arrived at the Nana resort, our home for the 2 nights…the greenery around us boded well for the birding….
Nana Resort Kaeng Krachan, nicer than we expected!A beautiful river runs alongside the resort and the sight of several oriental pied hornbills in flight over the river was a welcome sight. They were also commonly seen around the resortOriental Pied Hornbills were easily seenthe resort grounds were pleasant enough with a butterfly enclosurewhich housed some lovely butterfliesRed collared doves were plentiful in the evening lightchinese pond herongreen bee eaterSiamese pied starlingstreak eared bulbulat breakfast the next morning, this beautiful Black Baza watched over us from afarhis mate wasn’t far awaySooty headed bulbulBarn swallows
So this was a reasonable start to our stay in Nana Resort and a few birds before the serious birding started the next day….
Sounds delightful. Can’t wait for next instalment
