Oh
hi everyone Simon here today subject I quite like
animals in Thailand I am a animal lover if I could afford it I'd probably have
an animal sanctuary at my house in Thailand
but anyway come for dinner so I want to talk about animals around my house in
Thailand so I'm in the just below this Bangkok but our below so you call it in
the south of Thailand and these are animals that I come across in the garden
and on the land and even in the house
there's a lot of different animals in Thailand and you just do a search on the
internet but there's three main ones and I'll put some pictures up hopefully
alongside the video I can work out the editing snakes centipedes and here
scorpions but not so many and lizards so I'll stop with the lizards now they're
probably better known as the Asian monitor lizard and they can grow well
not all the exact sizes but I've seen them about 6 foot long 7 foot long a
huge they're very slow now again I'm not sure is true but someone has told me
that they have a poison on their teeth but if they were to buy you you would
need medical assistance but these monitor lizards they just
wander you see them crossing the road in the village and just wandering across
the land and in my garden they are quite big quite sort of scary when you look at
them but if you just sort of shout at them and stamp your feet they'll they'll
go away they used to be protected animal but I believe now they're not
however I wouldn't want to kill one and I think people in the villages to eat
them so they even oyd me these things these monitor lizards because I in war
my previous vlogs of my business vlogs I put a few thousand fish in my pond to
grow for doing fish in Lake and these lizards would come along go underwater
for several minutes and eat all my fish so there is sort of arch enemy of mine
but I still water them and you see them in dusk dawn and dusk especially but in
the hot summer eat you can enjoy them down the road and religion I'll just be
wonderfully walking across the road you can even see them in Bangkok you youth
there everywhere and various sizes in fact I think it's Lumpini Park in
Bangkok who's read them in there you can actually get up in them and watch them
so is it the next one snakes now I like to makes I do like snakes Thailand has a
hundreds of different writers of steak snakes non venomous and very venomous
some of them now there's a website if I remember to put the link below
Thailand snakes calm fabulous website and tells you all about the snakes of
Thailand how to handle them everything if you have a come across a snake in
Thailand as it there anywhere any snake the snake will not attack you it won't
it's not bothered about you the last thing you want to do is have a
confrontation with you or anything to do with you it will quite happily slide
slither off if you stand on our snake by mistake it's going to bite you and then
seek medical assistance immediately if you call on a snake if you're trying to
catch a snake that's when snake bites happen to when people are trying to
catch snakes and don't know what they're doing or they corner us now
and aggressively confront it so in my village we we do have crates which are
very venomous we have cobras spitting cobras again venomous we even have a
king cobras which is a big nasty ones those scare me because they are big I
quite often if I come across this make will walk away from it or just stamp
your feet snakes can't hear they've got no hearing as far as I know their senses
from their tongue and vibration so if you stamp your feet somewhere near a
snake and it's got somewhere it can get away it will slither away you can get
poles and snake catchers to catch a snake put it in a cloth sack or a bag
and then take it and release it somewhere safe if you're in Hua Hin I
don't know about elsewhere in Thailand there's one lad called David remember
sterling but it'll come to your house the phone numbers on the Facebook group
and I'll try and find that for that link below but he's actually got snakes of
wire and I think a Facebook group and he'll come and take snake away so too
far from my house so we've got a guy in the village who's a a snake catcher and
if you really got something nasty big king cobra or a reticulated python I
think I've got a picture they can grow they 20 feet as a whole or a big long
huge snakes and they tend to be in sort of mountain areas and I've got a
mountain less than a mile from my in the back garden and they do come
occasionally you see them and they're huge scary yeah very scary don't want to
meet one of those but again the snakes tend to come out in the dawn dusk and
through the night so when I'm wandering around my house or up and down the lane
at night I always take a torch because you do come
across the snakes then and also in the reading any time it rains or rainy
season the snakes come out all the animals come out when it's raining it's
good feeding time for them but you do have to be careful walking around at
night anywhere in the villages because the snakes are there they're in the rice
field they're everywhere so yeah vipers in the trees lots and
lots of different snakes but I do like them I must admit I do like them I'll
put a few pictures up of ones that are around my area in Thailand there's one
photo I found on Facebook it's a beautiful photo of a blue Viper or
you'll see I'll put it up there absolute beautiful photo and but yeah advice if
you come across the snake don't corner it don't try and catch it leave it alone
stamp your feet come away from it it won't bother you it's yeah they're fine
there's a lot of snakes that are actually harmless in Thailand but unless
you really know what you're doing and you can tell the difference don't go
near them or take a photo put it on Facebook and someone will tell you what
is this hopefully they tell you the truth that you'll get bitten by
something nasty if a cobra bite you king cobra or cobra and some of the crates
you've only got a couple hours to get to the hospitals gets magic venom so you
really have to be careful around the certain snakes my third add is this
animal i hate with a passion it's a centipede now there's a picture
next to it these when they're big they're about seven inches and they're a
dark red color they look like they've got two heads one each embers only want
my knowledge now if one of those touches you fair count is going to sting you and
I haven't been stung by one my wife has and friends of mine have and apparently
it's the most excruciating pain in the world like someone's stabbing needles
into you now my wife got bitten on the arm my laptop bag was on the floor years
ago one got in and he was only about till now inches long since a smaller one
put half of the bag in it stung her arm swelled up to twice the size so we had
to go that opportunist get some injections she was in pain for days and
it was yeah she was really struggling with it and these things obviously that
when their I imagine it come from eggs some of their life form but they start
very small so they can get into your house so if you leave shoes around on
the floor always shake your shoes that make sure there's nothing in there but
they do get in the house and occasion you find them now that is one animal I
will if I find in the house I killer because it catch provides me the pain
that people have said it creates I don't want that I don't want one of those
thing in me or so but they can to be in dark places under bricks logs so if you
got a house in Thailand and in the garden you've got stuff stacked up same
place you gotta find the snakes you know hidden way dark places peaceful
well these centipedes are there as well so if you see one of those do not touch
it come away from it and they are very very hard to kill very hard I hate them
I use I've got a hammer later upside down and use the shaft of the hammer
onto the head all my weight oh I don't like killing animals believe me but that
hate with a vengeance really do I've noticed one of the other
vloggers Graham Breyer so again I believe the link I've got a link below
for him he's just started doing a wildlife logs on Thailand so that's
going to be interested so go and have a look at his channel he's probably going
to do all the different wildlife in so I'll be great to watch I shall be
watching the other thing animals and I mean dogs I and cats yes there in
Thailand there is a sort of dark side sadly two dogs in Thailand if you do a
search on Google for Thailand illegal dog trade just type valid I'll tell you
all about it that's very sad but I'm not going to go into that don't like that at
all I did have a couple of dogs sadly one
got bitten by a Cobra and died and the other one that was dear
to me Oh something else happens which wasn't good but once I get moved to
Thailand later this year I will definitely have a dog or two and some
people are saying get a mongoose because they can they'll fight the snakes I tell
one let's make sepia but when a mongoose running around the garden looking mad as
it is I've got caves and chickens and there's a golden who blows lap wandering
around got anything else lots of birds and the crew the cranes like the cranes
yet the fish I have got let cranes come in and try now to go the fish so there's
loads of wildlife in Thailand loads to watch and I love it I do love the world
like that's one of the reasons I I'm going to be happy living in the village
because I see in the world life so there we go anyway so I'm there should be some
pictures up I'm going to split the video and put some pieces up for it any
questions I'll try and answer them but have a look at that pile and snake calm
there's even a free I mention what free ebooks they send you if you want which
is great and if you're involved in I'll put the link up for David Hawaiian
snakes of snakes I don't know what is called the Facebook page but or Big
Brother and put below for you there might be one near you if you are
elsewhere in Thailand if you'll search on Facebook see what comes up there's
usually someone around it that's nice if you want them cause a
moved and which is good so there we go today I've got my David Beckham jumper
on according to my wife she he did it in that put it on and in the magazine
now all the shops are settled them so the don't look anything like David
Beckham simply maybe she wants me to yeah timber subscriber numbers again to
create an app like I understand what's going on we were stuck at 64 like weeks
and then he shot up 200 back to 9 to line up 200 Orin if you're watching
thank you for the shout out on your channel ask jazzer and Chania you gave
me a show about my jump maybe that helps as well but what i've were up to 140
subs and now which is so unbelievable never thought i'd get there and people
are asking about my equipment on youtube and software and editing and all the
rest of it yeah i know you can tell I'm not good at editing I know I might do a
vlog on my current equipment and my setup because quite a few me actually
feel you've been asking what they keep seeing a bit of a joystick in my in my
vlogs so what I do let me see if I can do this I will show you that there is
half a joystick and there's the other half a joystick there and I've got a
twin computer set up it's a gaming PC that I built a top-end gaming PC because
I play a game called elite dangerous and League came out in 1984 with David Bray
David brave them and Ian Bell and now David Brabham
has took it much further and this elite game visiting office from two years now
if you know them about the game Fargo EADS are coming soon it's a space in
game basically trading shoot and killings I
play for years I love it one of those relaxing pastimes of mine and so yeah I
might do a vlog if you want on current equipment software and setup so look out
for that one and if you could thumbs up subscribe share I think sharing seems to
generate the more subscribers does that make sense doesn't it and I've started
update on the taxi vlogs they're coming I'll actually schedule
them to start dropping in while I'm on holiday and which time so by magic they
