Craig Robson is a professional ornithologist, author, artist and bird tour leader. His extensive knowledge of Asian birds culminated in the publication of the definitive A Field Guide to the Birds of South-East Asia which is now a Helm Field Guide.

Thailand is probably the most popular destination for tourists in Asia, and birders have long travelled there to observe its wealth of wildlife. This comprehensive guide to the birds of Thailand is an indispensable field reference for birdwatchers, residents and visitors to the country alike. It covers all 950 species that have been recorded in Thailand, with 166 magnificent colour plates covering most plumage variations. Each plate is accompanied by concise text for each species and distinctive subspecies, detailing identification, voice, habitat and behaviour. In addition, there is a distribution map for every species, based on the very latest information.
