You just met "The One Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken" in a Bangkok park. Seeing a 2-meter Asian Water Monitor (known scientifically as Varanus salvator) just 1 meter away is a true Jurassic Park moment in the middle of the urban jungle. But in Thailand, this giant reptile is more than just wildlife — it's a living superstition. Locals call them "Hia," a word so heavy with bad luck it's used as a forbidden insult. To protect the local culture and bring fortune, we use the nickname "Tua Ngern Tua Thong" (Silver and Gold). But as a culinary anthropologist, I have to give you a warning: despite their calm look, these are apex predators. This protected species is vital to the Bangkok ecosystem, but they are dangerous. ⚠️ WHY YOU MUST STAY AWAY: The Bite: A toxic cocktail of bacteria and mild venomous enzymes. The Tail: A powerful whip that protects their territory. The Speed: They rule both land and water with lightning reflexes. They are beautiful to observe from a safe distance, but never forget: you are in THEIR territory. 🇹🇭 Would you dare to stand this close to a real-life dragon? Tell me in the comments! 👇

After a great start on the J109 GTR the A35 was on the prowl with their big mast head kite casting a wind shadow over the race leader. We made a poor decision not to stay clear ahead at all cost which ended up us costing the race. The A3 slipped to leeward, got out of the tide, lead at the first mark before sailing away to take the race victory. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying our short bits of the 2025 racing season.
