Northern Thailand
The north of Thailand is a mountainous and rugged country, closer in appearance to southwest China and Tibet than to coastal southeast Asia. The entire area covering Northern Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos is still fairly wild country, long closed to exploration and still relatively unknown to naturalists. The area's sparse population has until recently had very little impact on the rich ecosystem of this region, and the north is even today one of the most untouched and unexplored parts of Asia. Although wild elephants no longer roam the hills, other species still thrive in abundance, especially in the area's two national parks: Doi Suthep-Pui and Doi Inthanon.
Wildlife in Doi Suthep and Doi Inthanon
Because of the proximity and ecological similarity of the two parks, it comes as no surprise that they are quite similar in terms of the wildlife they support. Over 300 species of birds have been spotted in each of the parks, including woodpeckers, the black-hooded oriole and many others of special interest to bird watchers. Many primates live in the parks as well: gibbons, macaques, leaf monkeys, and others. Other animals include the Asiatic black bear, Indian civet, barking deer, giant flying squirrel, Chinese pangolin, and more than 30 different species of bats.

Notifying Visitors of Site Enhancements
Another idea for my home page’s text is notifying visitors about the enhancements I put on my site. For example, I want visitors to sign my guestbook or fill out my survey or maybe they can visit this best links site’s topic.
