This small lizard is a member of the gecko family that is know in Thai as a Chingchok. It is the smaller cousin of the Tokay Gecko.
It is probably the most common and widespread lizard in Thailand and wherever you are if you look around the walls and ceiling of the building you are in you will probably see several. They are voracious insect hunters and are extremely useful for getting rid of mosquitoes and other biting insects.
