What’s the Craziest Creature you’ve seen in Thailand?

 

 

We’ve got some unusual natural phenomenon here in Thailand. Reptiles, birds, mammals and insects you just don’t see in other places. And the funny part is how used to seeing them we get; so much so that we don’t even take notice.

 

I’ll never forget the look on my brother’s face when he saw two cobras involved in their intricate mating ritual. Across the street from my condo in Phuket is a swampy lagoon where cobras congregate about the same time every year and mate. “Are those #$%*ing cobras” he gasped. “I didn’t know they did that”. I joined him standing all agog, unable to tear himself away from the reptile porn. “Oh, there back” I replied matter-of-factly. “How did you think they make little cobras?”

 

Last year I was sitting under a coconut tree on a beach in Koh Samui. Beneath a small pier I saw a monkey (a macaque to be more exact) chilling out in the shade. Every time a person walked out on the pier to take in the air or light up a smoke, the monkey came to life and appeared to be waiting for something. “Food” I thought, “I’ll bet these people feed the monkey”. As it turns out the only thing that was getting fed was this monkey’s bad habits. Eventually someone flicked a lit cigarette out onto the beach and monkey shot like a bolt of lightning to retrieve it. He then retreated to the comfort of his shaded lair to puff away on what was left of the cancer stick. It didn’t even strike me as odd. A monkey smoking a cigarette … see it every day right?

Also seen the visitors?

Plenty of them in Pattaya, obese, ugly, facial haired, tattooed Farangs, just as bad are the overmuscled freaks, or young Arnie lookalikes, though about the only place you see them is in the gym.
