Monstrous Reptile Takes on Bangkok 7‑Eleven
The shriek that echoed through a Bangkok 7‑Eleven felt like a rib‑cracking apocalypse. A huge monitor lizard, not a Godzilla or Kong cameo, climbed to the top of the store’s shelves and stared daggers at shoppers.
The Uncanny Scene
- A startled employee shouted, “The shelves are ruined! Oh my god,” when the beast snapped at the chillers and rattled cartons of milk.
- Instead of fleeing, the reptile gathered its courage, scaled up the display, and let a cascade of dairy slide to the floor.
- Only after securing a perch on the highest shelf did it relax, tail wrapped like a cozy blanket.
Human Reactions: Phones Out, Eyes Wide
While some staff screamed, others pulled out their phones, framing a live studio “worst‑case scenario” for their followers.
Motivation? Maybe it’s Simply “Thirsty for Freedom”
Jejene Narumpa, the cool‑headed video‑taker who ended up taking a selfie beside the lizard, mused: “Maybe it just needed some cool air.” A sensible hypothesis: in Thailand’s April‑May heat, that creature probably sought a chill spot.
Climate or Luck?
Is the lizard a lost tourist or a climate‑driven roaming freak? The climate odds were high—high temperatures, low opportunity for a quick escape.
And the Ever‑Present Question: Where’s Kong?
With a massive reptile taking the spotlight today, one cheekily wonders if the reigning giant, Kong, might have taken a vacation instead of a Hollywood debut.
In short, Bangkok’s street‑level monster saga proves: the world may not need a movie, it just needs to keep an eye on future snack‑massive lizards that might slide into your local convenience store.
