May is a beautiful time for a nature walk in Chiang Dao. It is the beginning of the rainy season and a period of seasonal transition, when the forest slowly becomes fresh and alive again.
Many wild orchids are still blooming, adding soft colors along the trail. At the same time, different kinds of wild mushrooms begin to appear on the forest floor after the first rains.
In the dry dipterocarp forest, you may also observe some migratory birds and seasonal bird activity, making this month a special time to learn how nature changes from the dry season into the rainy season.
