If going to RDC Sepilok, Johnny Lim at http://www.sepilokjungleresort.com/ will
look after birders from Aust. His mum makes a great marmalade too for breakfast!
Mention my name;-)

Hi John,
I agree with you about Bukit Fraser. Unfortunately it now does not meet one of
your criteria, in that there is no longer public transport up to Fraser's. You
now have to catch the KTM Komuter train from KL Sentral to Kuala Kubu Bahru
station and catch a taxi up to Fraser's.
Some locations I would nominate are:
Mount Kinabalu National Park, Sabah, Malaysia;
Rainforest Discovery Centre, Sepilok, Sabah, Malaysia; and
Singapore, which has afew quite good birding spots accessible by public
transport.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

Hi everyone,
Just to lift you out of the gloom of having to go back to work next week and
get you dreaming of further birding adventures....
My favourite birding destination (that is, one centre from which you can easily
access different birding locations), I think, would be Bukit Fraser in West
Malaysia. This is a little town on top of a hill in the middle of forest, you
can walk around the roads bird-watching and walk down off the hill in various
directions. It is also easy to get to with public transport and you don't need
a car. (In Australia think Mt Tambourine).
Anyway, does anyone know of any other locality in Asia similar to Bukit Fraser?
I was thinking perhaps Thailand or India. Must have similar features:
1. Extensive accessible forest, preferably at different altitudes, with walking
trails/quiet roads
2. Accommodation within walking distance of birding sites
3. Accessible by public transport, no need to hire a car
4. Enough variety to occupy an eager birder for 4-5 days (perhaps also some
open country nearby for open country birds).
Happy New Year everyone, and good birding
John Leonard
