A beautiful Ice bird?

[Randi]

My sister and BIL just came back from a 3 weeks holiday in Thailand. One day, this bird came to visit and they snapped a few pictures. They have always loved birds, have several feeders in their garden - that might be the reason they now have the orangie visit too - yes, they are becoming very attached to that cat, admit it or not! ;)

Here's a few pictures of the bird - I think it's called an Ice bird. Isn't it beautiful?

It really looks like a kind of kingfisher (I know that's what you mean by ice bird as we call them Eisvogel here as well ;)) but the most beautiful one I've ever seen.
I know they exist in Asia too.
