Croc sighted off shore in phuket

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Global warming. However, don't worry it'll leave when it gets sick of going through innumerable roadblocks, realizes Thais are xenophobes who think they are superior to everyone else on the planet... and ripoff foreigners every chance they get.

Just because one is gone doesn't mean that there will not be others.

In fact, if one can make it, others can to, and probably will.

With all the Chinese bodies floating around they must think it's a free, 'All You Can Eat' smorgasbord.

I think in Pattaya the species is crocdylus neuroticus, not porosis.

The second one is the same species, just a different colouration

Any self respecting croc would not risk the murky waters of Pattaya, if you want a load of croc Phuket's definately full of it..
