Mountain view near Ron Phibun, Nakhon Si Thammarat province

To run away from the cold weather in the north of Thailand (there was only 14 degree Celsius) we make a trip to the south of Thailand and stay there in the mountains from Nakhon Si Thammarat province at a altitude nearly 1000 m. There was nice forest with many tree fern and also many moths at night time came to the light. A big wood owl was also interested of the larger moths.

After some day's in the mountain's we drive to Trang province. There we hire a old man with his fishing boot and go to Libong island to see the last population of dugongs from Thailand. We can see 2 of them but only for short time so it was not possible to take a picture. But we see also some dolphins a island with many wader birds and a nice sunset over the coral atoll

The last day's from our trip we visit Kaeng Krachan NP. There we see some langurs, giant squirrel, eagle, pheasant, horn bills and a small species of a parasitic plant from the Rafflesiaceae family. At night time we stay outside from Kaeng Krachan NP and look for some moths but it's was to dry and cool so only some Sphingidae moths came to the light
