Oman, India, Thailand plus! Feb - April 2017 (1 Viewer)

[transform777]

Hi, I am looking to do the following trips as part of an Asia bird travel and am looking for companions for some of this. Nothing concrete but general idea:

Start of Feb. South Oman approx. 5 days >> Sri Lanka approx. 2 weeks
>> Thailand approx. 3 weeks
>> Inonesia approx 3 weeks
>> India approx 3 weeks
End of April, North Oman approx. 3 days

I have a lot of birding experience internationally but Asia is new, so I don't need to invest too much time in challenging epidemic searches . I am fit and easy-going, more of a budget traveller but Airbnb normally works + some camping....

Anyone interested?
Cheers,
Matt

Correction. Oman and Indonesia are off the list now. Vietnam and Myanmar are added.

I'm going to be in Sri Lanka in April if you can do that later than you're currently planning.

I too am not interested in looking for epidemics.

I am considering a few days in Southern Thailand around 30th Jan to 5th Feb. I know a great guide and would be happy to find someone to help share the cost.......

Hi Colin - who is the guide that you reference in this post? Heading to S Thailand at the end of this year

Shintana (windowofthailand.com), Ike (thephuketbirder.wordpress.com), also Nick Upton (thaibirding.com, a lot of information there) used to offer guiding services, and another poster on this forum recommends Shintana more recently so should still be available.
I never booked a tour with any of them, but I have met Chintana and Ike years ago, both were very nice and helpful, that's all I can say about them!
