Dear Tony,

Thank you very much for organising and guiding my birding trips to Doi Inthanon and  Khao Nor Churchi and for arranging the mangrove boating trip with Mr Dai; I enjoyed  them greatly and I saw far more birds than if I had travelled alone. I have birded many parts of the world using local guides on many occasions and I cannot tell you  how satisfying it is to find somebody like you who is both friendly and knowledgeable  and who also arrives as planned and provides the services that have been agreed. I  know how much effort you and your brother-in-law went to so that I would have a  successful holiday. Not many people would have travelled the great distances you did to meet me.  I appreciated the fact that you engaged local help at Doi Inthanon to maximise my chances of seeing difficult birds and it was good of you to provide me  with copies of books that I would have otherwise found difficult to obtain in either  Thailand or England. I was delighted to have seen 194 bird species of which 95 were  new to me but just as importantly I was pleased to have spent such a pleasurable time in your company and in the company of the other Thai people you introduced me to. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending your services to others and  indeed I hope one day to return to Thailand to go birding with you to places we had no time to visit on this occasion.

Thanks once again and keep in touch

Nick
