This is the amusing moment a wild monitor lizard enjoyed a dip in a hotel swimming pool that was close to guests because of the coronavirus. <br /><br />The cheeky reptile was spotted by British tourist Sandra Roberts while she walking through the hotel yard in Bangkok, Thailand, last Saturday (April 25).<br /><br />While the rest of the guests were confined to their their rooms, unable to swim because of the Covid-19 preventive measures, the lizard enjoyed the empty pool.<br /><br />Footage shows the 4ft long adult lizard paddling through the water before climbing up to the pool side. The reptile then walks past the sunbeds, heading into the bush.<br /><br />Sandra said: "It is not fair that he is allowed in the pool. Anyway, it is so beautiful to have a moment with an animal like this. It made my day a lot better."<br /><br />Government ministers in Thailand have imposed strict measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus, including banning hotels from using swimming pools.<br /><br />Other restrictions include canceling all incoming flights, alcohol prohibition, curfews and travel bans. The country has recorded 2,947 infections and 54 deaths.<br /><br />Bangkok has large numbers of Asian water monitor lizards that live in parks, lakes, canals and marshland.
