Watch Out!

As millions of Thai citizens settle in for another day of uncertainty and worry, the latest danger to poke it's head from the every deepening water, is the threat of crocodiles.

Yes,  you read it right!

As the flood water rose, further up north of Bangkok, hundreds of crocodiles literally floated over their pen's walls, and swam off and made their way to the suburbs of Bangkok.

There have been numerous sightings, and several huge monsters have been caught or killed by locals trying to collect the meager bounty of 1,000 baht each. Not a huge amount of money in anyone's language. This relates to about $31 Aussie dollars using today's exchange rate.

This one, alone, could make a few designer bags or shoes.

There have also been reports of other large, be it, not as dangerous pythons, lurking in the shallow water. Huge centipedes and scorpions, also invade houses to find "dry land" away from the water that has encroached their normal dwellings. (Photo on right from yfrog.com/nvn8ocij)

Now let's give a thought for all the Thai people who have been displaced by this tragedy. It isn't over yet. The Thai Government in suggesting that this event will last for over a month. The water is still rising, and, that massive amount will take a long time to drain to the sea.
