Thailand - Rot Fai Park

Photos by Hwei Iue.

Was in Bangkok, Thailand on 25th October. Visited Rot Fai Park (Railway Park), which can be reached from Skytrain N8 Mo Chit station.

The park was the former State Railway of Thailand golf course and is now a park that covers 60 hectares.

Walking along Chatuchak Park's front wall on Vibhawadi Ransit Road, there was an Asian Pied Starling singing on a tree. Common Mynas on the grass within the park.

Just before the main gate to Rot Fai Park, Eurasian Tree Sparrows were hopping around an old train on the left side of the road.

 On entering the park, saw Chinese Pond-Herons in the lotus pond. Oriental Magpie-Robins and Pied Fantails were singing and hopping from tree to tree. They seemed rather tamed, coming within reach of one metre.
 
Walking around the various ponds, Rock Pigeons were flying overhead, Striated Heron and Little Egret were feeding by the pond.
 Spotted Doves and Red Turtle-Doves were taking shelter in the shade.
On an open grass patch, Richard's Pipits and Zebra Doves were moving on the ground. A Brown Shrike and an Ashy Drongo perched facing each other.
Blue-Tailed Bee-Eater and Indian Roller were doing their acrobatic flights before landing on some branches.
