lazarus Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Life on the farm. The chit chat (in Thai) is funny... I would not have wanted to be the guy holding the bag. Edited June 8, 2020 by lazarus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycoll Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Fascinating, not a job I will be applying for. I don't believe in the unnecessary killing of animals but in those cases I would have lopped the heads off and barbequed the rest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite surprised they didn't do that too, especially with the cobra as they are good eating I am told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nampla69 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Seen some big snakes up in Isaan but nothing like that ......... that would end up grilled on the barbecue and the blood mixed with Lao Kao to make homemade hooch where the Mrs is from. Skin would end up on a handbag nothing going to waste ..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like them either. But I really hate rats. So... a big snake means more dead rats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I did not realise cobras were anywhere near as big as that one in the photo. We all too often get snakes in our garden in Bangsaray but nothing like that thank goodness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all too often get snakes in our garden in Bangsaray but nothing like that thank goodness! To be fair, that is a really big one. If challenged that could easily raise up and look you in the eye, isn't that a scary thought. Back in Febuary I see one on the path in Chiang Mai that I assume lives in the canal. It was exactly where I had been walking every night the previous week whilst returning from the boxing ring bars pissed up. Luckily on this particular night I had been to a different part of town and we went past it in a taxi. Just a reminder of where you are and how a seemingly harmless night could very quickly turn bad.
