PHUKET - A three-metre crocodile believed to be the one filmed swimming in the sea off Bang Tao beach last week has been captured in a coastal marsh in Thalang district. The two-year-old male reptile weighs more than 200kg.

The hunt began about 8pm on Thursday after the crocodile was spotted in a large marsh close to Lepang beach in tambon Cherngtalay.

Three boats were deployed to catch the reptile with a team of about 15, people from the Department of Fisheries and local fishermen.
