Visiting Khao Yai National Park | Thailand

Khao Yai National Park was a great introduction to the wild side of Thailand for me. I learned a lot going on a guided tour…much more than if I had gone by myself. The tour I booked was booked through Green Leaf Tours...their website is here:

More info on the Great Hornbill:
I was here in January of 2019 so it was breeding season for the Hornbill. During this time of year, they become very vocal. Unfortunately, I didn’t record their sound on camera, but an example of that can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1AigsW1yrE. They form monogamous pair bonds and live in small groups of 2-40 individuals. The female hornbill builds a nest in the hollow of a large tree trunk, sealing the opening with a plaster made up mainly of feces (how romantic). She remains imprisoned there, relying on the male to bring her food, until the chicks are half developed. The clutch consists of one or two eggs, which she incubates for 38–40 days. Here’s a link to the Great Hornbill wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_hornbill
