5.00This was a great tour. Joe was so knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. We learned a lot about birds and saw many species. We had a nice lunch on the way back. I would highly recommend if you want to see birds!

5.00We had a wonderful day with Joe! He’s extremely knowledgeable after working in the area for over 20y. The day was very pleasant and very well organised AND i got to photograph more than 15 species unknown in europe. I had not enough time to take pics of everything - that’s how rich the park is! don’t second guess it, go!
Highly recommended for bird enthusiasts!

5.00Very good tour with four stops and very bird. “GoWithJoe” is a knowledgeable and very nice guide. Please bring a good telephone on the first three stops, on the fourth at the top of the mountain were the beautiful sunbirds so close that a telephoto of 100-400 mm would have been perfect. I had one of those with me but it was still in the car! Had my 400 mm with 1.4 extender. Even when I removed the extender, the birds were too close.

5.00We had a great day out with Joe, who was very knowledgeable about the birds we saw and knew which habitats to find them in. He accommodated us being vegan and even brought home made fruit snacks, which was very kind. We saw some rare endemic birds and were very lucky on the day. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with an interest in birds. It was refreshing to get out of the city too for some tranquility.
Great daytrip from Chiang Mai!

4.00Doi Inthanon is a very nice place to see birds and a nice getaway from Chiang Mai. Do not forget to bring a warmer vest as it can get cold at the top (7degrees of C when we were there). Itinary as in earlier posts. We especially loved the first stop at the Karen village, where we saw a variety of birds and could als0 enjoy local coffee! Thanks Joe!

5.00We started at 5:30 a.m. when Joe picked us up at the hotel. After a one hour drive we had breakfast at a gas station near the national park. After that we drove to a village in the national park where we did one hour of bird watching. The next stop was at the road side which was a bit noisy but we saw some birds as they like that area and it's pretty open near the road. After that we went to the top of the mountain where we saw the Green-tailed Sunbird. We did one other spot in the forest as well. After that we drove for lunch in a local restaurant which was very nice. We returned to the hotel at 2:30p.m. Although we didn't have the best luck with many species, but still had a great time with Joe who knew the species and always showed us the birds in his book afterwards as well. Birds we saw (plus some other common species): Small Nintava, Spectacled Barwing, Flavenscent Bulbul, Verditer Flycatcher, Scarlet Minivet, Black-crested Bulbul, Ashy Drongo, Mountain Bulbul, Large Woodshrike, Bar-throated Minla, Dark-back Sibia, Green- tailed Sunbird
A highlight of our trip

5.00Our day birdwatching with Joe on Doi Inthanon was one of the highlights of our Thailand trip. We are casual birdwatchers rather than experts and Joe gave us a great experience. As well as spotting some gorgeous birds we visited a fascinating Karen village, did a lovely walk at the summit and learned a lot about life in Thailand from Joe who is a very interesting fellow. It was great to support a locally owned business. The day was well organised. Joe lent my husband binoculars and provided breakfast, locally grown and brewed coffee and a delicious lunch at a local Khao soi restaurant.
Great day

5.00We had a great day with Joe! It was an early morning but very relaxed. We went to 4 stops in the National Park and Joe knows where all the cool birds are and where to spot them. He also knows a lot about them. It was very nice just walking in nature and listening to all the birds. Would recommend if you like birding and a relaxed day!!!!
