Hair-crested Drongo (blue gloss on neck, large bill, tail curved up at the sides)

I agree with Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher

The last one is definitely a cuckooshrike. I think the tail pattern fits Black-winged rather than Indochinese.

Last one is a Black-winged Cuckooshrike, undertail pattern confirms. Indochinese has more extensive white tips, the undertail appearing almost solidly white. It is a very scarce bird at Khao Yai whereas Black-winged is very much the default there.

Thai distribution Lalage polioptera, Indochinese cuckooshrike Thap Lan is the most reliable site in the E.
