A warning will not help to decrease the amount of snake in the city.

Unlikely. Apart from them being located about 35 km apart they were reportedly of different lengths. There's more than one snake in the Province.

Warnings are meant to warn people not eradicate the animals.

I think that one will be seeking sanctuary further north. Thailand has a long record of deporting political or criminal snakes back to their point of origin.

What is the source of your interesting soi dogs observation?  Why would you conclude that King cobras would be the reason for any decline in numbers?

They usually appear after rainfall. Phuket has quite a-lot of snakes.

Nah price of chicken was rumoured to be rising.

So many king cobras loose and running around in population ....!? Maybe they scape from all those Cobra show places, who knows if they have any proper control or standard in looking after them or counting their stocks...!

 

Once I nearly , almost, booked a hotel in Ao Nang before I noticed a snake show establishment nearby, feeewww....., closed call...., now I check carefully and stay well away from that lot...!  God must have created snakes and sharks just to torture me... !!! lol
