Popular Post SAFETY FIRST Posted June 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 I've often wondered why Thailand has not got a serious problem with crocodiles, Australia has lots of crocodiles where temperatures are similar to Thailand, freshwater and saltwater. Is it because the Thais have eaten these animals, it's the only thought I have? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourist, the ones that can't read the signs posted and sleep on the beaches where the crocks come in at night when they are sleeping than they pay the ultimate price.
