Restaurant owner Suchada Nooklap, 60, told The Phuket News on Saturday (May 5) that the hornbill, which her and her staff have yet to give a name, had been dropping by her restaurant for the past month,

 

“It’s not scared of people, and tourists cannot resist have their photo taken with it,” Ms Suchada said.

I hope that some of the non caring Thais don't try to catch or kill it.

According to Dave Williams, one of Phuket’s leading ornithologists with decades of experience of bird watching in Phuket and the surrounding area, there are 54 species of hornbill worldwide with 13 species native to Thailand, ranging from the very common Oriental Pied Hornbill to the very rarely sighted Wrinkled Hornbill.

 The wrinkled hornbill can be found around the Patong area.
