isanbirder Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've seen three or four in Buriram in the past six years, and others have told me they've seen them. There's a thread about it way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamles Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They were quite common in Korat when I was stationed there in 1971-72. I haven't seen one anywhere in Thailand in recent years. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpuumike Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They will keep the snakes down. Haven't seen any in Thailand for a long time. Lots in Bangladesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masuk Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I saw them a bit in Java, and was told they were originally imported from India to help keep the snakes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klikster Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 How are they against rats & tookays? I assume that getting a mongoose for the yard is a no-no if neighbors have chickens? How territorial are they -- stray or stay "home"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How territorial are they -- stray or stay "home"? Supposing Thailand has strict laws about trapping/catching native wild life?? Tokays are part of the natural environment, not introduced pests like roosters up and about at 4am. I would think that a mongoose is a ground animal, whereas a tokay tends to live high up.

Rats are taken care of by snakes which are taken care of by mongoose. Tokays, ask a Thai neighbour or a pellet gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
