Birding on the Jetty at Bang Poo
I was back in Thailand for a few days and had a morning free to take some photos. Colin and I discussed what we might like to do and decided to head down to the Gulls and Terns of the Bang Poo Jetty in Bang Poo.
To get to the jetty one must drive down Sukhumvitt Road all the way until it ends well past the Erawan Shrine (there’s a place that will feature in photos soon) and down past Muang Boran (Which is a mini version of all the architectural  wonders of Thailand) which coincidentally is owned and operated by the same family as the Erawan Shrine and the Santuary of Truth in Pattaya.
 The Jetty is a “Queen” project which has a series of restaurants, displays and areas to wander around at the end of a 200 metre long jetty. You drive along the Jetty and park in the middle and a guard puts a cover on your window to keep the heat down. It’s well worth the B20 you give him when you get back from Photography / Lunch exertions.
Out on the Jetty (Pier) there are plenty of birds on the water and a few flying around. We needed to encourage them to have a little party. It was hot, so they were not keen to indulge us.
Here are some of the images from the day:-
