Daily News Thai Caption: Appearing downtown (in Bangkok)

 

Local neighbors were shocked to see a crocodile sunning itself in a pond in the middle of Bangkok.

 

It happened in the downtown area of Charoen krung Soi 107 in a wooded area belonging to a middle aged man.  

 

Ruam Katanyu rescue services were called to the area at 2.30 pm yesterday after reports of a one meter croc on some wood in a pond, reported Daily News.

 

The area was not connected to any waterways. 

 

Rescue couldn't find the croc after pictures were taken by residents in a dormitory that overlooks the area. 

 

The owner of the property said he didn't raise crocs and had seen it a month prior. 

 

He didn't think to report it as there were often things like snakes there but no children so he just left it. 

 

He also had a big dog to warn him.

 

The rescue service advised the public to call them if they saw it again.
