Being from Australia, there aren't many things that surprise you in the street where you live. However, when I moved to Thailand things became much different. To look out your front window at a three (approx)meter elephant being fed bananas certainly makes on jump for the camera. Another time when I had an apartment overlooking Bangsaen beach, I came home to be greeted by a monkey sitting on my balcony. Please share, what are the stragest sights you have seen at home?

Wow, that's amazing! hehehe..

The strangest I've seen so far is not actually strange but more of 'sweet'. I woke up to a bird singing in my balcony. I don't know the type of bird that was, but it was just singing so sweetly, making me start my day a bit better than before.

What a perfect way to start the day. You can be sure there are no birds singing beautiful songs around monkies.

the strangest thing i've seen were 3 deer standing in the middle of the road. they got spooked and ran right straight into a chain link fence across the street. i guess they cant see chain link? luckily none were hit by a car.

That's rather sad. I don't like to see amnimals spooked. I guess that goes back to the days when relatives used to go shooting rabbits and kangaroos. It makes them easy targets, and that's sad.

if anyone were to take a pot-shot at any of them, they'll have to deal with me! now, i usually see them around 6pm nightly grazing about 200 yards from my back door. they are such beautiful creatures!

wow..i don't think i can top that.
maybe the entire upper side of across the street on fire.somebody had set fire to the school overnight and they were barely keeping it from spreading.

to wake up at 2 am to a huge orange glow outside your window is both scary and strange. blink

If you couldn't see the flames, or hear the roar, you'd probably think it was an alian invasion. Now I think I'd rather face the elephant and the monkey than that.

We have a few possums also, usually scampering along a fence top, or on the power lines.
