Tchooptip Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I saw one yesterday using an overhead cable to cross the road opposite Macro. It reminded me of this http://youtu.be/DsuVLsDyln4 incredible, I loved. In front of my house I also saw one on the cables running full speed on a very long distance, very funny.

Mole Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It doesn't have horns, so must be different spieces. The security guard quickly took him away though... who knows what he's gonna do with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It doesn't have horns, so must be different spieces. The security guard quickly took him away though... who knows what he's gonna do with it... Same species but female, could have come with some sugarcane from the mainland. I have been on a competition in Chiang dao. The female is put in compartment in the fighting pole so the males have something to fight about.

Mole Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Dead snake just outside the hole with baby monitor lizard, which will probably finish it off during the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 ^ hope the monitor lizard enjoys! Mole! Just getting back to the red beetle problem and the coconut trees, it's been my observation doing a fair bit of driving around both KP and Samui, in the last few weeks, that the issue is not as bad as we thought it might be. It seems to have affected very localized areas around both islands, but looking at most of the coconut trees, it not looking too bad !... Amazing how little wild life on actually does not see even up in the hills! Looking from atop Soi 5 today... not a monkey in sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) The wild life is in Lamai! ..... Notmyself and I were wandering around a part of Lamai, this afternoon.... and .... this is one of several, he says there are in the area (4 was it?) for a monitor lizard he/ she was very calm, usually they scatter pretty fast.... Walking along this pathway to the beach... the one above was on left side, but they swim in the lagoon too... apparently! I am not sure whether I should post the other "wild life" I saw....it's a bit like the Wild man of Borneo!

Mole Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) OT reply to OT post. That pic may sort of be a candidate in that "funny signs" thread. But in an opposite way. The Thai is just phonetic rendering of the English. In other words, if a Thai wasn't able to read that English, he wouldn't probably understand whatever is written in Thai either, because it says phonetically exactly what's written in English. Herbal Massage = [hoeboe massach] In fact, if the English wasn't there, I'd have great difficulty deciphering <deleted> the Thai means.

MantisMan Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) I was walking up my street back to the pad late last night and heard some rumbling noises from some bushes on the side of the road. Suddenly, the strange creature darted out in front of me. Now sure what it is. Could someone kindly identify it for me? I would suggest clicking it for it's full size for better judgement.................. Edited January 25, 2014 by MantisMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samui expat incola, genus ebrius stultus. Nocturnal creature. Evolved with opposable thumbs in order to grasp cylindrical objects filled with amber liquid. Mating season all year around.

Virt Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Some of the not so deadly wildlife i encountered during my stays on Samui Caught on a fishing trip with Mr Tu, but thais on boat, said "NO TOUCH". No idea what it is, but it didn't look like something we wanted to touch anyway. Also caught on fishing trip. Seems like Thais do not eat these eels, because they threw them out again when we caught them, but here they are sold for about 1500 Bath a kilo. Not sure if it's the same type of eel we eat here in europe. Large ass grasshopper at McDonalds Chaweng. Quite big spider out at Ang Thong. Cute lizard out at ang Thong. Frog at Op Bungalow Chaweng.

Just thought it looked like an Eel,but after searching on hagfish i can see it looks like one. So maybe that's why they don't eat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
