Rainy season is definitely in full swing here and we have been having torrential rain everyday which is only ever broken up by gaps of murky wet spells. We haven't able to venture out much and our drive to and from work has looked almost apocalyptic some days. Drive to work at 7:35am (sunrise its …
Another sunny weekend and another national park to explore. This time we headed to Ton Prai Waterfall a little further afield than we usually go but well worth the trip.The park was beautiful and has definitely taken a spot in my top 5 favourites here in Phang-nga province. We hadn't even entered the car park …
I realised the other day that my blog has become very insect heavy recently featuring very few animals larger than your hand. If you're hoping this blog post will be different, I'm afraid you're going to be a little disappointed, its all about insects, lots and lots of them. I will try to explain why …

They're often pretty relaxed and you can usually get quite close to them before they make a run for it. Sometimes if it's a particularly confident one they'll puff out …
Thailand is home to a species of Lizard that you see everywhere and one that I have grown to love over the years living here. They are the Garden Lizard (Calotes versicolor) and as the name suggests you'll often spot them in gardens. They love to drape themselves over bushes, cling to the sides of …
One night I was having dinner when I noticed that there was a visitor on the table, a flat tailed house gecko (Hemidactylus platyurus), slowly inching its way towards my drink. It was a little timid at first and If I moved slightly and it felt that it had been spotted it'd make a dash for the edge of the …
So, we're officially on holiday here in Thailand and we don't have to be back at work until next month. This gives us a great opportunity to explore some of the cool, wild places near us. One of these places, Khao Sok National Park blew me away with just how much wildlife there was to see. …
