Bird
watching at Khao Phanom Bencha National Park
 This
national park, located in the interior of Krabi, is one of
the most pristine places in the region. Over 50 sq km in size,
and virtually unexplored, this park boasts several beautiful
waterfalls, and an abundance of wildlife including clouded
leapords, black panthers, Asiatic black bears, and leaf monkeys,
to name a few. In addition, this park is home to several species
of tropical birds, including the Gurney's pitta, and Nordmann's
greenshank, two of the world's rarest birds. Khao Phanom Bencha's
numerous low-impact hiking trails provide an excellent viewing
point, and overnight camping is permitted for a fee of 5 baht
per person.
