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! 👇

Sunshine and a steady 8 knots for breeze brought 14 boat in YTC 1 for the annual KYC Open Keel Boat event. The race committee set two great course with the first race running for just under 2 hours followed by a shorter 1 hour second rave. The local A35 showed everyone a clear pair of heel to win the Bennett Cup with two victories, with the time on GTR scoring to 2 & a 4 to win on count back. GTR owned the boat end of the line for the second start of the day boxing out Exlir and a pack of Impala's that tried to barge in. Strangford lough is a great place to go racing on a sunny spring day. The Team at Bottom up boats will remember to pack the GoPro for their next outing to ensure we can share some more racing footage.....
