What is this mystery creature?

[Krillin]

This is in Nam Phong, Khon Kaen, Thailand. It lives in the wall between my neighbor's apartment and mine, my bathroom wall. It is active at night, and typically barks three times before remaining silent for several hours. What is it?

I was going to ask if it happens more on Bean Burrito night down at the pub.  But Thailand doesn't do bean burritos.

A Tokay with a frog in his throat.

My neighbor isn't home, and it's not me.

It's been happening for over a week.

UPDATE: It vocalizes a lot whenever I play a sound recording of an Asian bull frog, but the mystery creature's call is deeper than that. Might it be a giant mutant Asian bull frog trapped in my bathroom wall?

It might be either a gecko with great acoustics or one doing its best Tom Waits impression after catching a chill. 

 

Btw. mating calls start in April and last until October.

I assume it would be a tokay gekko, but it doesn't sound like one. Maybe the tone of the tokay gekko's call is being changed by something in the wall. Maybe the tokay gekko is in a pipe in there or something. 

 

[curtklay]

It's Bob. 

[digger70]

Sounds  the same like the frog we have ,

They make a noise like that in the downpipes and drains when there is rain about 😇

[ignore it]

It's a bottle of cheap cologne and liquid soap dispenser getting it on.

[CanadaSam]

Those are the dreaded "tiles" found in many bathrooms! 

 

Next time, do try to get a picture of the animal, pls.

I also felt it is from the Bull Frog.

When it rains heavily, I can often hear their chorus around my Chiang Mai apartment.

When I hear the sound they make, I can understand why they are called Bull Frog.

As it sounds like cow mooing.

 

They are brought into this kingdom from N/America for aquaculture in 1990s.

And they are popular food in rural area.

I often see them at the local markets.

They are more expensive than chicken(often 100b each).
