PHUKET: A local fisherman has raised the alarm after seeing what he believed was a crocodile on the small island just offshore from the northern end of Layan Beach in Cherng Talay.

 

Local resident Somchai Choomrak, 55, reported the sighting to the 191 police emergency hotline after arriving at the northern end of Layan beach to go fishing near the mouth of the canal at about 2:30pm.

 

Mr Somchai said he had walked out into the water to cast a net in the canal when he saw the crocodile on the beach near the rocks on Koh Kata, located some 50 metres offshore.

Don't they all look smart in uniform.

It would be interesting to know if this is an escapee from a crocodile farm or a true saltwater crocodile ????

The last thing the Phuket sandbox needed is for a crocodile to eat a tourist ????

Another sighting of a small escaped crocodile for the timid to obsess about.

Hint: the oceans are full of sharks that are responsible for far more attacks on people than a little reptile.

Don't go in the water!
