The bill on the preening bird looks like Terek Sandpiper, but plumage is wrong.

Mmmm, No Colin, wrong shape and as you say, plumage not good - but your kind of thinking in the right 'area'

complete guess and I'm sure I'll look like an idiot.

Red-necked Stint in front
Long-toed Stint preening
2 Spoon-billed Sandpipers sleeping at back

bird behind LT Stint not sure of - Sanderling?

Viper Viper!

Congrats Graham, Nice one!
It is indeed a Red-necked Phalarope, quite a collection of waders on a tiny sandspit at the wonderful Pak Thale Saltpans in Thailand.

See you soon,
