Beyond birding, Chiang Dao is also a paradise for butterfly and insect enthusiasts. Its rich ecosystems provide ideal conditions for a wide variety of species throughout the year.
During the rainy and post-rainy seasons, large numbers of butterflies gather along streams and mineral-rich soil (mud-puddling), creating incredible opportunities for observation and photography.
