Sound familiar?!  hahaha
For those of you who lives in the village, this sound is very familiar, when I stayed in the village, it was the "good night" background every day. brick1


Gecko Gekko Tokeh (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF0gmHAG3cw&feature=related#)

Some background:

It is widely believed that if a Gecko called more than seven times, that means happiness in Thailand, so count! clap
A rare Recording from a village in Buriram, Thailand.


German language:
Der nächtliche Ruf eines Geckos. Wenn ein Gecko mehr als siebenmal ruft, bedeutet dies in Thailand Glück, also mitzählen ;-)
Eine seltene Tonaufnahme vom Rufs des Geckos von Andy Schmid. Aufnahme aus dem Heimatdorf meiner Frau Jar in Buriram, Thailand.

Inzwischen fand der Ton den Weg auf unzählige Mobiltelefone als cooler Ringtone. Auch in einer Thai-TV-Werbung hab ich ihn schon gehört.

In the cities, too.  I had them in my house in Chiangmai, and I have no doubt they're in Meung Buriram as well.

Hi Bums


Certainly in Satuk!

But before I sign off I thought I'd introduce you to Toby, he is rather partial to the odd cockroach but is obviously missing some female company judging by the racket he makes all night by the bedroom window where he announces his availability to all the local females!

So I though I would have a cheap laugh on him when I saw a realistic looking toy rubber tokay in the market, blow the expense (20 baht) if it shuts him up at night.

I positioned it on the fence right under his penthouse suite (under roof tiles) and wait to see if he would fall for it.

Five minutes later the sister in law is screaming like a banshee and laying into the defenseless toy with a big broom confused4.. so it must have been realistic looking, but if Toby saw that from his high rise vantage point he won't be taken in by the Tokay version of a blow up sex doll... ah well back to plan B! That's the ear plugs.

I just hope he has scored by now as I would like a decent nights sleep when I return

I have a whole family of them. They have been here longer than me, and i estimate there are more than 12. Never seen more than 5 together, but they are of varying sizes. Two are in the house at the moment -they come and go. The remainder live in an enclosed column in the garage.. Very rarely do they make any noise. they must be content!

I've never seen them lately Nookie, so maybe they have gone elsewhere
