The intruder was a giant monitor lizard, that looked as tall as an adult human, was standing upright on its hind legs with its mouth around the door knob.

In Thai tradition, monitor lizards are believed to bring good fortune to those who encounter them. Known as “Tua Ngern Tua Thong”, Thais also call the reptiles “Hia!” which apparently means “F**k!”.ccording to a translation by Coconuts Bangkok, a man can be heard shouting in Thai, “Hia is in our house. It’s f**king huge!”, while a dog barked in the background.
A woman then said: “They say if you throw a coin at it, it will go away!”
The group continued to debate off-camera on what to do until the giant reptile wagged its tail, and everyone screamed.
Later, an unidentified man was seen trying to lure the lizard away with some rope
Now I’ve said a billion times that I hate shit like this and it freaks me out immensely. Nothing cute about it, their skins all gross, they do that tongue shit, they’re the size of oxen and now their invading homes. It’s fucking gross. When that thing does a tail whip i want nothing short of a RPG grenade launcher to launch that shit away from me. But this time I’m going to feel a little bit bad for the lizard. A lot of times we see videos like this where some bizarre reptile breaks into a house, its like in Australia or some European country where everyone speaks English and is for the most part civilized. They just want it gone. I don’t know if i can say the same about this lizard being in Thailand. They can say all they want about how they dragged it away with a rope or threw pennies at it to scare it away, but most likely that dinosaur got dragged through a village and cooked over an open fire. They’ll eat anything over there I’m pretty sure and that even grosses me out, but when it comes to me, i just want it to have a quick death by a hail of gun fire or a swift grenade to put the thing out of its misery (and eviscerate any bit of its existence.) But I can see this random Thai village just dragging it over coals till its cooked to death and then being split among the village. I’m not gonna feel that bad about it because, again, they’re gross as fuck, But sometimes a place like Thailand in the summer is a crueler fate than death.
