(nickname: Par)
Par has been bird-watching since 1985. In 1992 and 1996, he won the second runner up prize from the Thailand Bird Race, held by the Bird Conservation Society of Thailand (BCST). He is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable Thai birders.
He had earlier volunteered as a bird leader for organizations such as Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, Bangchak Petroleum Company (PLC), Rajabhat University’s Bird Life Club, and many other groups and societies. Later, he became an earnest bird and wildlife photographer, equipped with a Nikon F4 camera and Nikon 500 mm. F5.6 lens. However, with the development of digital cameras, he stopped taking photos and dedicated himself to hosting bird watchers and bird photographers.
For 7 consecutive years, from February 2004 to March 2011, he was the first Thai birder invited as a guest columnist in the weekly bird-watching scoop for Kom Chad Luek Newspaper, Thailand’s second highest selling newspaper (www.KomChadLuek.com). Par has published his own pocket guide book, named “Song Klong Mong Nok” (meaning: Watching birds through binoculars) to assist Thai readers and clients in learning more about bird-watching. He currently works as a full-time General Manager and Senior birding guide for Wild Bird Eco Tour.
In November 2015, Par was selected by Noah Strycker to join his team for The Worldwide Big Year. Par was assigned to be Strycker’s guide in Thailand for six days, and finally brought Strycker to 84 kinds of bird to add to his record during Days 302-307 of his journey. This event has made Par known as one of the most skilful birding guides in Thailand.
