Low resolution due to zoom, I'm afraid, thin metre long frog eating near khlong. Is it a chequered keelback?

Looks like a striped keelback.

Thin, eating frogs, youre up in the north, ticks all the boxes. There's a few keelbacks. What a lovely specimen. You are lucky indeed. Keep at a distance and observe this beautiful creature go about his daily activities. If you are a frog be very afraid.

Just zoom in on the head.....it looks like an emu

Of course we need to debate it.

I think you nailed it, thanks.

This specimen did look different to other keelbacks we see in the khlong and other varieties are more distinct. A grey rat snake in the garden and an iridescent blue sunbeam under the compost heap!
