Thanks, Gabriel! :)

The svimming pool was located just next to the River Kwai, so it isen't that strange :)

But those monitors, some up to more than 3 meters, lives inside parks in downtown Bangkok! A city with almost 10 millions of inhabitants! Hundreds, if not thousands of people visits some of those parks everyday! Jogging, exercising or just playing around next to the big lizards. And guess what? Those monitors doesn't give a d..n! :shock:
How cool is that? :D
Wish we had some herps in that size here in Denmark! But if so, I would have to replace my macro with a wide-angle for close-ups!! ;)

The park in this video, is the park I've visited the last couple of times I'd been in Thailand, look how great it looks :P :

Sorry Mourits, I hadn´t read your response.

Wow!!! Absolutely great! It´s incredible. In Spain in the urban parks we can see dogs, cats and if you are "lucky" a fu**ing Trachemys :(
In Israel is similar with Tryonix, but monitors are cooler!

And you should also buy for them a big heating apparatus for the winter or allow them enter in your home, but I´m not sure your family was good with these dinosaurs at home :lol:

I missed this post, very nice! Pierre is right, the frog on the first picture is a Microhyla for sure; could well be a dark M. pulchra, though I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks guys, I'm sorry that I haven't seen your answers before now!'
It is a kaloula, it's just a skinny youngster I think
