GIANT WATER MONITORS ARE LIKE SQUIRRELS IN THIS BANGKOK PARK!

Giant water monitor lizards are like squirrels in this Bangkok park! One of my favorite parks in the world is Lumpini Park in Bangkok because the giant water monitor lizards have taken over! If you want to see these huge, impressive reptiles, you need to go to only one place! There's also turtles, pythons and more reptiles here too! Join me and @WickensWickedReptiles as we tour this amazing reptile park!

I've lived in Bangkok for 13 years and while Lumphini is a place where you're guaranteed to easily see water monitors, you can see them all over the city, espcially along the canals or the river. When my parents visited I took them to the park and my father was convinced we wouldn't see any monitors, since it was December. He was pleasantly surprised. In another area of Bangkok I saw a monitor swim out and start lunging at fish. One time in Lumphini I saw one grab a pigeon and eat it. There are also skinks, iguanas, and of course house geckos and tokay geckos, along with various snakes. Great city for lovers of reptiles. Also frogs and huge snails in the rainy season.

One of the many highlights of my trip to Thailand was sitting in Lumpini park. It is such a nice break from the craziness of the rest of the city. You can just chill, relax, enjoy the atmosphere and watch the lizards.
Absolutely a must on the list of thing s to do in Bangkok.

That’s really special. It’s crazy how commonplace in one country these animals are, and for us it’s a rare, otherworldly creature.

[WickensWickedReptiles]

this for sure is the coolest park in the world

[williambaker]

That's the coolest park in the world that's probably the coolest please on earth. I can't imagine a park with laid back water monitors and wild retics two of my favorite reptiles and that downtown unbelievable. That's definitely on my bucket list of awesome herping. Thanks for the great videos Dave love all your content I always learn something new watching your videos.

As someone who has a yard full of squirrels, I don't feel like that is a very apt comparison if you want to convey that the monitors are mellow and non-violent. LOL

[artoputtipong]

And sometime the little one climb on the trees in my backyard like squirrels😂
I'm glad to see you guys enjoyed your trip!!, you are always welcome!.

Fun Fact: The water lizards have 3 names in Thai language, first one we called it 'Woranuch' which isn't common name to called them in our daily life. So, we called them 'Tua Ngoen Tua Thong' which means a fortune bringer instead, and the other name of them are 'Here' which is the most used swear word in Thai.

They are protected by animal preservation law in Thailand. About 5 years ago the population of this animal had reached 400+ in this park alone. The pond was too small to host their food source, fishes. So they were causing problems lurking trash cans, running for food from people. So the government had to transported some (about 100+ big ones) to the provinces. Those that you filmed were not closed to the Hugh ones that were there. They were almost as big as crocodiles.

[temwattanapidto]

He is a protected wild animal. If anyone hurts them, it is illegal in Thailand. Thai people will not disturb them.

Amazing day at the park! You and Adam really should take annual trips to different locations. The two of you really seem to be having a great time. Also you're hilarious together!

As a kind remark from a local person like me, when I see you touch its tail at 4:36, be reminded that it's best for them that you don't get too near or try to touch them like this no matter how calm or ignoring they seem to be towards you. WHY? Because if they get annoyed or too scared and want to defend themselves by attacking you, you're going to harm them indirectly when news spreads that foreigners got injured by them. AND Possible results? Population control, limited living area, or in the worst case, evacuation of the whole population out of Lumpini Park to somewhere else, which also might not be safe for them. (You don't know how hysterical the local government/authorities can be, do you?) They have been living here for too long before you know of their existence, and we want that to continue, and they're safe here. (Not every area in Thailand welcomes these big monitor lizards, FYI.) SO If you adore them and be fascinated by them, keep off of them; this will only help secure their habitat in Lumpini Park.

I'll never be tired of seeing footage of this place. I'd love to get there one day.

[zulemazahir]

I am so beyond jealous, thank you so much for sharing this so I can vicariously live through you guys.

I can't believe it took me this long to see you and Wickens have done so many videos. Excellent surprise!

[-yeme-]

nice lizzards 4:14 I love the way this one is laid out w/ all four arms flopped so chill

[heavyaf_deuce]

I swear you and adam have the best chemistry on screen! The content from you two in Thailand is some of the best on on the platform 🙌

[loispadgett]

If I were every to travel outside this country I would want to go to Thailand and see that park and just hang with those beautiful monitors. Thank you for that it made my day.
GOD BLESS 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
