Holiday Tip : Beware - Bangkok Cicaks are Commando-trained!

.........

Travellers take note:

...

When dining in a third-class tomyam joint, be wary of the ceiling.

...

If you see anything that resembles a normal cicak, it is NOT.

....

These are a different breed.

....

They are commando-trained, ready to assault your fishballs at the slightest opportunity you present them.

...

During your pleasant evening dining experience, they will suddenly undergo a tactical airborne exercise and literally fall from the sky (ok, ceiling) onto your table, scampering a mad dash across it immediately, leaving diners caught in a frenzied panic attack, which will, inevitably, lead to the bowling of, er, bowls of hot soup over one another in a state of delirious pandemonium, and drenching nearby patrons with an aftertaste of tomyam cologne and garlic perfume.

...

They always work in pairs. And they are DANGEROUS. God help us all.

...

Useless Caution : Using your chopsticks to catch their tails is a total waste of time.
