Langkawi is not necessarily a top-priority destination for birders, but it still offers some great species that can be observed quite easily. Since it is a fairly touristy destination, it’s best to go birding early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Sunrise is, in any case, the best time to watch birds. One of the island’s strengths is its wide variety of habitats : coastline, forest, and rice fields. Which makes it home to a very diverse range of species!
Khao Sam Roi Yot, literally “the mountain with 300 peaks,” is a national park located in Kiri Chan Province. Although the park has a marine section, beautiful beaches, and a famous cave, the most interesting area for birders is the vast freshwater marsh known as Thung Sam Roi Yot. This marsh hosts an impressive birdlife, especially waterbirds.
Pak Thale and Laem Phak Bia are well-known wintering grounds for many shorebirds in Thailand. Among these shorebirds, one species is particularly famous: the Spoon-billed Sandpiper.
