Wild Thailand

Southern Thailand is the Thailand we think we all know. It's a place of both spectacular natural beauty and of wild tourist parties. But, as this entertaining nature documentary reveals, behind this well-known image is also a place of surprise, where spirituality pervades every bit of life. For the animals that live here, including macaque monkeys and mudskippers, this is a natural wonderland.

In Central Thailand's forests, fertile plains and even city streets, nature finds a way of living alongside people. This fascinating nature documentary includes Bangkok’s Lumpini Park, where enormous water monitor lizards mingle with picnicking families. A group of formerly captive elephants are released into the wild, while creatures such as gibbons, flying foxes, geckos and whales thrive.

Northern Thailand is dominated by mountains and cloaked in forest. It hides ancient creatures and surprising partnerships. As this remarkable wildlife documentary shows, to survive here, both the wildlife and people rely on maintaining the natural harmony. Leaf monkeys live up to their name eating the leaves of around a hundred different types of plant, while incredible painted bats fly overhead.
