This is the beautiful Spotted Forest Skink - Sphenomorphus maculatus - also known as the Stream Side Skink or the Maculated Forest Skink, which is commonly found in South and Southeast Asia. Normally nocturnal, it lives in wooded and forested areas near streams and small rivers in lowland and hilly areas, foraging among rocks and vegetation close to the waters edge where it feeds on small insects and invertebrates. This one, however, was seen happily sitting on a rock, in the afternoon, by the side of the footpath through a forest leading to Little Sandy Beach (or Little White Sandy Beach) in Khaolak, Thailand.
