Thailand Trip (DUW)

[Hsut77]

Have just gotten back from 2 weeks in Bangkok. Full on holiday staying in Bangkok that long but managed to get out of the city a few times for some peace and quiet.

Here are some pictures from the Red Cross Snake Farm. My wife and I were a little worried about the conditions, but we were totally wrong. These snakes are kept better than the one's at our local Reptile Park.

We also managed to catch a glimpse of a pair of Water Monitors at a rural fishing village. We also got to see wild Crab Eating Macaques on the outskirts of the village.

Nice pics, how's the reno's going on the stage area of the Bankok Snake Farm?... Where else did you stay?

Great pics, love the first one of the golden spitter, and the
albino monacled would have been great if it hooded up for you.
The rat snakes are stunning to i think.
The macaques look like they mean business..
do they 'attack' people or do they just
look like they would ?

We just stayed in Bangkok. We like to expolre places we visit not just go for the rubber neck tours. We spend many a afternoon exporing part of Bangers never seen by tourist eyes.

Jason, the reno is almost finished. It will be awesome when it is done. I think the Python's will be much happier in there.

Did you go to the tiger temple or the Bangkok aquarium?

Only if they mistake you for having a banana tucked down your jeans
Seriously though, they do bite and carry a host of nasty diseases inc rabies, I was attacted by one whilst working at a private zoo in Sydney many years ago and my daughter was bitten by one in in Bali a few years back.

The golden spitter was my fav. The colour was unbeliveable. Yeah the albino was a bit lazy, but the golden hooded up alot. The macques were great. We had bannanas and sweet potatoes so they we just waiting for a feed. The only one that has ever jumped in the boat was a white one but he hasn;t been spotted for a few months. When the food was gone they just went back to catching horseshoe crabs.

Sorry, we did a day trip out to the Tiger Temple. But were only there for and hour or so.

Did you catch the show at the snake farm? it was fantastic, the King Cobra really did it's thing... If you really want to see some nice country though, head north to Chaing mai.

My parents were in Chaing Mai last week for a few days and said it was fantastic

Didn't see the snake show as we got there for the milking demo. Chang Mai is on the cards for the next trip. We have done Phuket, now Bangkok, we want to explore the north in a few years.

Yeah the 'Beautiful Pit Viper' is aptly named. It was actually purple and green but the purple comes out a bit brown on the pics. The monkeys look mad but were actually quite sweet.
