Doi Inthanon, Thailand

[aquabodk]

Late december last year I visited Thailands highest mountain Doi Inthanon (2,565 metres).
On the top of the mountain there is several trails, where it is possible to se wild orchids growing in the trees.
If anyone can identify them - please do.

Very nice. The place I would like to visit someday. I have no idea what they are but I'm sure someone will know.

The first two look like Pholidota articulata.
The third orchid is a Coelogyne.

Agree with Pheli, the third is Coelogyne nitida.

If you're interested in Thai orchid species, the best is to get this book :
A field guide to the wild orchids of thailand by Nantiya Vaddhanaphuti.
700 species, with their location in Thailand, seasons of blooming, description, names in Thai in both Thai and Roman alphabet.
Easy to find in any Asia Book Shop and very helpful during treck in the forest.

All my best
