webfact Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Villagers panic as crocodile is spotted in South Pattaya LakePATTAYA: -- On Monday afternoon, sea rescue units were called to a lake in South Pattaya after villagers spotted a large crocodile.Khun Prayon aged 65 was the first to raise the alarm after he placed fish traps along the lake, as he normally does, but was forced to run away from the lake after he saw the crocodile, thought to be at least 1.5 meters in length.Marine Officials arrived at the lake, located behind a Go Kart Track in Soi 9 off the Tepprasit Road, and were baffled as to where the crocodile came from.Full story: http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/157392/villagers-panic-as-crocodile-is-spotted-in-south-pattaya-lake/-- Pattaya One 2014-12-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mot Dang Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 1.5 meters is hardly a large crocodile. It could give you a nasty suck though. About 15 years ago a couple of surfers on the a north New South Wales coast beach scoffed when they sighted a 1 meter shark near them chasing bait fish. They kept surfing until one of them lost half a calf muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estrada Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thai villagers panic! Usually the frenzied activity is aimed at catching the crocodile for meat and handbags. Just the same as when have very large snakes in our moo bahn in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottMallon Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) 1.5 meters is hardly a large crocodile. Go and assist in the capture then. I grew up on the edge of the Everglades and dealt with alligators and American crocs fairly regularly. I would not have a problem assisting them, assuming they wanted or needed help. Obviously they don't. My statement of a 1.5 meter croc being small has nothing to do with my willingness or unwillingness to go after the thing. The article makes it seem as if a monster croc is loose and everyone needs to run for their lives which is of course, rubbish. Now going after then one in the Congo that got Hendrik Coetzee, that's a different story. I would be very, very wary of being in those waters.
