Poor Judge of Pasta.
Not at all sure of these,
Olive-winged Bulbul
Green Iora (seems to have yellow eye ring, although not that well defined)
Little Green Pigeon (doesn't seem to be on Ebird for Khao Lak, but looks the part.)
Olive-winged Bulbul again
Shikra
All worth double checking, and seeing what other folks think.

No. 3 looks like Pink-necked Green Pigeon (no pink on Little Green) and no. 4 looks more like Streak-eared Bulbul.
I'm not sure about the Iora - it certainly looks rather greenish, and seems to have an eye-ring broken at the rear - but Common is surely more likely at this location. This checklist only has Common:

Agree with Olive-winged Bulbul for no. 1 and male Shikra for no. 5.

Yes, with you on the Pigeon.
Common, Green & Great Iora all on Ebird for Khao Lak.
Could live with either Olive-winged or Streak-eared for 4, lean towards the latter, but couldn't make that strong a case for it.

I'd expect Green to have a more pronounced eye-ring than that, with a distinct break at the rear. I'm still not entirely convinced, although I must admit the bird seems to lack yellow tones.
It's possible - the bird does seem to have a yellow vent - but we don't have a clear idea of the bird's true plumage tones. It looks too brown, but that may be misleading.
