When I reached the HQ of Doi Inthanon, the first thing that greeted me (other than a nice girl at the reception desk) was a largish, brown lizard basking in the early morning sunshine, along the footpath. I managed to get a few shots of him, though his tail was obscured behind a boulder. It turns out to be the Blue Crested Lizard or Moustached Lizard, Calotes mystaceus. It would seem that this is in its 'out of season' colours. In April (or there abouts), it turns into a wonderful blue colour. I hope to see it like that one day.
