Scratchings…

Dead Tookae

Originally uploaded by bhojman

I’m back in Thailand for a few weeks. It’s great to be here… but it is HOT! I’m mad to come at this time of year but as the conference I was attending was held over Songkhran there wasn’t much I could do about the timing of the trip.
The conference was held at a resort out from Chiang Mai. After a day or two we found this Tookae on the wall of the closet… very dead. No idea what killed him but he wasn’t there when we arrived.
Told the housekeeper about it and asked her to remove it, which she didn’t… too terrified, I suspect. I finally, very gingerly brushed it off the wall into the waste basket. It was beginning to pong and it was time to act.
The poor housekeeper got quite a fright the next morning when she cleaned the room… but a very dead Tookae was finally disposed of.
