Where to look

  1. Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary
  2. Doi Inthanon National Park
  3. Mae Ai paddies
  4. Fang Hot Springs

Timing describes the winter increase, not arrival/departure of the whole local population. Near-city Doi Suthep option is opportunistic; Chiang Dao and Doi Inthanon have stronger named-range support.
