Yes I did. If you zoom in on the map you will see almost exactly where it was, I took the photo from the small bridge.

Thank you all for your comments. To get an idea of what can be found where in South-east Asia check out this site: http://www.ecologyasia.com/index.htm It does not cover everything by a long way but gives some idea. I have found it very useful for helping with IDs.
