» Some 10 years ago, tremendous excitement prevailed when a common crane (Grus grus) showed up at Nong Bong Khai Non-hunting Area (otherwise known as Chiang Saen Lake) located in the northern province of Chiang Rai. The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) is responsible for the area and its management, and the bird sanctuary is a year-round attraction for nature lovers.
