Experience the mesmerizing spectacle of hundreds of Northern Pintails gracefully migrating to the stunning landscape of Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park in the southern province of Prachuab Khiri Khan.
The Northern Pintail, known in Thai as “Ped Hang Laem” – a duck with a pointed tail, is distinguished by its sharply pointed tail, a defining feature of this remarkable waterfowl species in the Anatidae family. Measuring approximately 56 centimeters in length and weighing between 500 to 800 grams, these avian wonders exhibit captivating gender-specific characteristics.
Males showcase striking dark brown heads and necks, complemented by white chests, creating a beautiful contrast with their gray bodies. On the other hand, females display light brown bodies adorned with intricate dark brown speckles, adding to the allure of these migratory marvels.
In Thailand, the Northern Pintail enjoys protected status during the winter season under the Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act, contributing to the nation’s diverse and vibrant biodiversity.
Located about 68 kilometers south of the Hua Hin resort town, Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park invites travelers to immerse themselves in unparalleled natural beauty. From the serene Lotus Pond to the captivating migratory bird spectacles, each corner of this national park unveils a new chapter in the captivating narrative of nature’s wonders.
