Thailand is one of my favorite places to watch butterflies. Butterflies can easily be observed in a controlled environment such as an enclosed butterfly garden. In Thailand, there are number of these gardens near Chiang Mai and in the resort areas of Ko Samui and Phuket. While I enjoy visiting butterfly gardens, it’s a lot more fun and rewarding to watch butterflies in the wild or in an open-air garden. One of the best places to observe a variety of butterflies and the phenomenon known as puddling is near streams, ponds and waterfalls. Highly recommended butterfly venues are Khao Soi Dao Wildlife Refuge, Pangsida National Park and Chiang Dao. In Chiang Dao, Khun Lek has a wonderful wildlife garden with a variety of colorful flowering plants that attract many butterflies. The musical travelogue “Butterflies of Thailand” features over 25 species of butterflies interspersed with scenes from the Thai countryside. Check it out!
