Panuwat Sarirat

Panuwat Sarirat ("Par") is a Bangkok-based Thai birding guide and the general manager of Wild Bird Eco Tour, with more than 25 years of field experience leading clients through Thailand's main birding regions. His core circuit covers Kaeng Krachan, Khao Yai, and the Laem Pak Bia / Pak Thale coastal wader sites. He is known for working closely with village-built hides — particularly the Bo Nok-style ground pools at Kaeng Krachan — that reliably attract pittas, partridges, and pheasants. Clients regularly report his fluent English, strong ear for calls, and ability to find specialities including Spoon-billed Sandpiper and a full slate of Thai pittas.
