False Gharial in Thailand
It appears that a false gharial has been reported (and photographed) in Sattahip Lake, Thailand. The species hasn't been reported in that country since 1970. The photographs are not great, but it is a crocodilian, and has a profile consistent with Tomistoma schlegelii. (News source.)
Note, this is not the same species as the true gharial, Gavialis gangeticus, which the news source confuses.
