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! 👇

Join us as we watch our boys grow up on a boat while we travel the world. Any guesses as to where we're heading next? Comment below! Posting on: https://www.facebook.com/sailinghangtime https://www.instagram.com/sailinghangtime/ -------------------------------------------- About us: We are a family of four who have been watching our boys grow up on a boat for the past 2+ years. We recetly included a new addition, a Havanese pup named Ruby. We worked hard in our 20's and 30's and built a company that has an amazing team managing it and allows us to work remotely and enjoy this time with our family. We love adventure, sports and an active lifestyle but also take pleasure in a great meal or a sunset gin and tonic. Boat life is challanging and busy but we have been learning as we go and have a great appreciation for the sailing community and the willingness of others to teach and share skills. After two seasons in the Caribben we're hoping to get Hangtime through the Panama Canal and onto New Zealand in 2021. This is the glory run of sailing - stunning landscapes, great sailing conditions and amazing people. Please subscribe so you can get a glimpse into this epic adventure.
