I had a family of monitor lizards opposite my house when I first moved there; there's a small stream coming down from the hills which probably provided them with enough food. The simply disappeared one day. Not in Phuket, but I have seen monitor lizard meat for sale at a market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
