I spotted this large snail feeding on a lime plant at an amusement park garden at Phuket in Thailand.

Thanks Sukanya. I agree with both of you. My earlier posting of a similar giant snail of North Bengal is at www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1788526003.... I've seen at least four types of snails in Sikkim, including the giant variety. I don't know which varieties are edible! (I've eaten them abroad, but it is no, no here!)
Thanks Agnes. I went through some refs. Agree with you.
I agree with Agnes...common in India too and a garden pest.

I think it is a Giant African Land Snail, Achatina fulica.
