Thailand: Mystery Creature
Back in town later this evening at Ocean Bar where they have great free barbeques, Jess, a volunteer from Canada, noticed something crawling on the power lines across the street. I went over to investigate...
Can anyone identify this tailless creature?
Update: Meao at the TVC identified the mystery creature for me. And the name is... well... she knows the Thai name. So she wrote it down for me.
Can anyone translate?
Update 2010-09-10: A friendly commenter translated the note for me:
Update 2013-09-23: It appears to be a "slow loris".

Over 7 and a half years later, I believe I finally figured out what the "mystery creature" was: a "slow loris".
