I think it's fair to say that any places that attract birders usually have much more nature on offer than just the birds. Chiang Dao is no exception.
This area was given National Park status/ protection in 1996 and the benefits of that are visible for all. Butterflies, moths, lizards, snakes (mostly harmless!) are all here in numbers. Insects of every shape, size, texture and colour are numerous. Mammals are scarce, but some have been spotted. Macaque monkeys, squirrels and deer to name but three. Flora and fauna is also abundant in this area. Certain species are unique to Doi Chiang Dao. For more information on local nature please see Jurgen Beckers website
