| Remarks : | On the way down from Doi Lang to Tha Ton town where we put up, we saw 4 different groups of Mountain Bamboo Partridges (total of about 20 birds) at different stretches of the road. They seemed to be looking for food by the roadside after rain. They were extremely shy so we had to take video recordings from inside our car.
