The other day we rented a kayak for a paddle around Kai Bae. Afterwards, we grabbed a traditional Issan lunch (grilled chicken, labb, som tam, sticky rice) from a local man with a food cart/side car contraption attached to his motorcycle. Walking back to the road, we were confronted with this sight:
An older European was smoking a cigarette near the wall. He calmly pointed towards the kids and whispered “crocodiles.”
Sure enough, there were a bunch of crocodiles on the other side of that wall.
There must have been 15 or so crocodiles in there. Around the walls, in the pool, everywhere. We have no idea how they got there – certainly not of their own volition.
Our best guess: someone is raising these guys for their pelts. That’s a lot of boots.
this is fantastic. i love the first photo and the cocodiles are huge! i wonder if they eat the crocs as well...?
