A new, interesting destination in a remote part of Northern Thailand, very close to the Laos border and rich of uncommon and sometimes rare species.
Despite the lack of a good knowledge of the area, thanks to the help of the Thai butterfly expert Prasobsuk (Ting) Sukkit, we manage to get several good to very good finds, although the weather was not exactly good.
The Masae's Silverline - Spindasis masaeae
Beautiful and very rare species, this is the first record outside Doi Suthep and remarkably widens the geographic dispersion of this species
Wow many uncommon ones, especially the T. acte which is peculiar because its various sspp. seem as if they could be species level taxa. First time hearing of the Spindasis masaeae.
