Description

An amazing new moth tour exploring the most interesting location in Chiang Mai province to see a great number of interesting & beautiful moth species!

We’re delighted to be heading to Thailand for a brand new moth tour in 2026! It is sure to be popular, read on to find out why…

November is the perfect time to escape the cold dull days and long nights of winter and visit northern Thailand. The summer rains will have ended, and days will be warm and sunny.

This promises to be an amazing moth tour, exploring four of the most interesting locations in the Chiang Mai province on northern Thailand. We will visit locations from lowland to reasonably high altitude, to help us find a great number of fascinating and beautiful species! We will of course spend some time on butterflies as well, but please be aware that they will be secondary to moths and if you want to focus a lot more on butterflies it is possible to do that by joining the tour which runs straight after this – or why not do both for a mega amount of moths & butterflies!?

But Thailand is also about much more than moths and butterflies – we should also see exotic lantern bugs, stick insects, giant katydids, beautiful damselflies, and much more.

This is a small group tour with a strict maximum of 3 guests. We believe that by keeping the group small you’ll get a higher quality tour, and will be able to study and photograph the moths and butterflies more easily. We don’t herd you together – you are encouraged to split up and explore the habitats at your own pace, thereby greatly increasing your chances of photographing with minimal disturbance. However at least one of the guides will always be within earshot, and we’ll be constantly on the lookout to show you any exciting species that you may have overlooked.

Our popular Greenwings guide is Adrian Hoskins, an expert on tropical butterflies who has visited Thailand and many other Asian countries numerous times, and will take time to assist with identifying your photographs in the evenings, and even by email after the tour. Throughout the tour our local guide will also be with us. He probably knows more about the butterflies of Thailand and than anyone else alive so you’ll be in good hands!
