PHUKET: -- Lifeguards caught a ‘massive’ lizard that scared several locals and tourists at Nai Harn Beach yesterday.

Pictures of the lizard taking a stroll on the beach and a triumphant lifeguard appeared on a Facebook page named 'Phuket Lifeguard Service' with the caption “Nai Harn has a guest today. We had to take it off the beach.”

The lizard was about a meter long and weighed more than seven kilograms.

I'll just complete that last sentence:

 

"Facebook page named 'Phuket Lifeguard Service' with the caption “Nai Harn has a guest today. We had to take it off the beach because our staff all wanted 'lizard fricassee' tonight" :)

One meter long and causes a scare? I've seen bigger lizards in our mae ban toilet.

Do you notice that you get no "likes" for that post ?

Can you work out why ? Go on, have a think about it :)

LoL, recognising sarcasm isn't your strong point is it?

 

Many monitor lizards are eaten by Issan and Burmese folk in Phuket, even though they're protected.

It's the sharks along the beach road you have to beware of !

That lizard looks pretty relaxed, maybe he was looking for lizard lounge.

Because you weren't being sarcastic...

The old lady strolling over to it and the little kid behind look terrified. Looks like the lifeguard was ordering it back into the water.

Faux indignance.  Hell, I gave your post a Like just to rub his nose in it!

If that is a monitor lizard there is good reason to stay away. One bite and you will get a really bad infection

You are also describing what happens when one  is amorous  with  one of those hookups people have on Bangla and around the Paradise ghetto  in Patong.
