A Visit to Kaeng Krachan National Park, Phetchaburi, Thailand

Located to the south of Bangkok, and in the province of Phetchaburi, a minor district named Kang Krachan which was later on upgraded to a full district of a small Township. What lies here is the biggest national park of Thailand - Kaeng Krachan National Park, which is one of the 3 national parks that make up Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex (KKFC).  A group of us, from colleagues to friends of the same hobby, finally get to travel after the long Covid shutdown. We were so excited that one of us actually started counting down one month before for this long waited trip.  Finally arrived at the airport of The Land of Smiles, Thailand. We met up with our guide and our journey down South commenced here. We arrived at the KKFC at about 3~4pm in the afternoon, set up our shooting gears, and we headed straight to our first Hide (Hide 1) to catch the Bar-Backed Partridge which can only be seen here in the whole forest complex.  Other birds spotted and seen in Hide 1 include: white-crested laughingt
