“Enjoyable day of birding“

“I booked a day birding tour . They picked me up promptly on time and everything was just as agreed upon in the itinerary. My guides Ms Grace and Jackie were excellent and I added many birds to my life list. The guides were knowledgeable and great at spotting birds that I wouldn’t have otherwise seen. Quite an enjoyable day.”

“Bird watching at Doi Lang“

“Really enjoyed the company of Grace and Jackee during the 4 day trip to Doi Lang. Besides recording 103 species, we had a lot of fun and the food was great! Excellent views of some of the birds. Notables were spot breasted parrotbill, rufous gorgeted flycatcher, Himalayan cutia, Siberian bluetail . I’ll be back!”

“Wonderful experience!!“

“Jackie and Grace, our birding guides provided us with most enjoyable trip of a lifetime! Not only did they know their birds, but they found over 40 species for us, were so much fun to be with, were super hospitable, and helped us with ordering food and checking into our hotel! We loved every minute!”


Welcome! I’m Grace Watchanapon, your experienced local bird-watching guide based in the beautiful province of Chiang Mai, Thailand. My passion for birds began since childhood and naturally evolved into a fulfilling 9-year career as a professional birding guide. There is nothing I love more than spending my days outdoors, surrounded by nature and sharing the region’s incredible biodiversity with fellow enthusiasts. For me, the absolute best part of this job is witnessing the pure excitement when a client spots a brand-new bird species for the very first time. That shared joy and heartfelt appreciation make every expedition truly special, and I look forward to helping you discover your next lifer bird on our journey together.
