Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo
The pic above shows just a section of the farm. This place not only is full of crocodiles, but it has one of every type, shape, oddity you can think of.
Yes - he is laying with his head in the Croc's mouth. I aimed the camera and looked away, then snapped the pic. I know there is a 'natural trick' to this, but seeing it in real life was more of a thrill than I was willing to watch in real-time. I figured with my luck the Monday edition of the Bangkok Post would headline: "Man decapitated by Crocodile".
A Crocodile has no tongue. Its esophagus is protected by a flap. Here the man has opened the flap and is actually sticking his arm down the Crock's throat. Again, I aimed the camera and looked away - then snapped. I figured I could safely see the picture later - or sell it to the Bangkok Post if something went wrong.
My last full day in the Big Mango for 2008. Each year I come here I see new buildings. The one on the right seem to be a bit off center - even with the naked eye - hope it is the glass in my hotel window that is causing the distortion. And the building on the left. Who thought of that design? Reminds me of a Memory Card placed in a USB reader - then again I'm thinking technical and not artistic.
