Hello! I'm new to this forum, so nice to meet you all. Can you tell me, are there any torts that live in Thailand? I know Burma is next door and there are Burmese torts out there, but what about Thai torts? Thanks for your input.

Hi, Welcome to the Tortoise forum. Both species of Manouria live there Manouria impressa and both ssp. of M.emys and phayrei. The G Elongata also occures there.* Wirot Nutaphand turtles of Thailand. They have lots of simi aqu. turtles one of which is H.grandis that gets big and looks a lot like Manouria. Vic

I just spent 6 months there and I'm moving back soon. I'm hoping to find a tortoise while out herping. Thanks for replying.

Well I invite you to move to the USA where you can buy CAPTIVE BORN Tortoises any day of the week all year long. (for now)Good luck hunting for tortoises. Look along the sides of streems and hike up the side of water falls and you may find The Black Mt.Tortoise. You might see a Retic and other fine beast too. Let us know what you find. I just hatched some Black Mt.Tortoises so tell me where they live and what their doing!!! Vic

Are you Thai? I'm from Thailand, too. Well, I was just recently naturalized, so I'm officially a U.S. citizen now.

I love Thailand. They have the best street food in the world; I miss the food a lot. And the people are so laid back compared to here. They don't get in your face like people over here. I'm gonna go live over there someday when I'm older. It's such a lovely place. I still miss it after all these years.

It's nice to talk to fellow herpers from Thailand. We have great herpers in Thailand, too. We have the best crocodile farms in the world.

You know I have a friend who works for the BBC news in Thailand. She's quite famous actually... Her name is Patchari. I went to school with her and My sister, she and I were pretty closed because we were the only Thai people there.
