This is the incredible moment a giant monitor lizard was found balancing on an ATM machine in Bangkok, Thailand.<br /><br />Shocked resident Krittavit Tamchai, 42, spotted the beast when he went to withdraw cash after finishing work on Tuesday (July 2).<br /><br />The terrified office worker immediately stopped and changed his mind when the giant reptile - known for their aggression if provoked - refused to move from the standalone machine.<br /><br />He said: ''I didn't want to wrestle a monitor lizard to get to the machine''.<br /><br />Krittavit's mobile phone video shows the six-foot-long monitor lizard with its two hind legs on a ledge and his front claws across the ATM buttons. The reptile appeared to be using its tail to balance while eyeing the digital screen.<br /><br />Locals gathered round to see the bizarre sight before a security guard arrived to scare away the creature. <br /><br />Rescue workers then caught it - but unluckily for the lizard, it was empty-handed, having been unable to get its claws on any cash.<br /><br />Speaking after, Krittavit said today (July 4): ''I was so shocked and didn't know what to do. I waited for a while just wishing him to move on so I could use the machine, but he didn't. <br /><br />''Eventually, I gave up and went to withdraw money somewhere else. There was no way I was wrestling an angry lizard to get to the machine.<br /><br />''My friends and I have been talking about what he was doing there. Was he really a secretly wealthy lizard trying to make a withdrawal?<br /><br />''I think he must have come out of a local canal or drain because of the heavy rain and found himself in this unusual place.''
