webfact Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Video: Five meter King Cobra drops in for a bite to eat at southern Thai restaurant! A video on YouTube from Thai Rath showed the snake catchers from the Krabi Phitak Pracha foundation get to grips with a five meter long King Cobra. The snake had scared patrons at the Ban Suan Khao Khram restaurant who were all waiting outside when the foundation team arrived. It took only 20 minutes for the experts to bag the beast who had taken up temporary residence in the kitchen. It was reckoned to be about a 15 year old specimen. It was returned to nature after capture. Source: Thai Rath -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2019-02-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreasyFingers Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thais are lucky that there are rescue services like this instead of just killing the snake like I would have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 And what if it's late at night and the rescue chaps are asleep ?...Sorry, but I would also rather have it killed rather then hissing around my bed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durian explorer Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 So "returned to nature" means stepping out in back of the restaurant a few meters? That's what it looked like. I would have thought they would drive it to a remote location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius verus Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The snake catchers also come around to your house in Bangkok to remove large snakes which still happens from time to time. Good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
