Burnice just to add:
Langkowi guide: http://www.junglewalla.com
- Mount Raya has Great Hornbill and I also saw Orange-breasted Trogon on
private land near The Datai hotel that they have access to (small $$ amount was
paid to the guards to allow access).
KL:
FRIM (Forest Research Institute Malaysia)
on the outskirts of KL is easily accessible and definitely worth a visit. Note
their opening hours however.
Cheers,
Charles Hunter
