In October I was invited to a Thai Wedding party by a close friend of mine on Koh Chang. Both the bride and groom were from prominent Thai families so it was a pretty big event(even though I was the only farang among over a thousand attendees). Anyway, on the way back we encountered this girl just poking out of the jungle onto the roadway. I jumped out of the truck and pulled her out for this photo.

The following day at dusk, on the way back from trekking in the jungle, we spotted a large cobra doing the same thing. I grabbed my snake hook but couldn't get that one turned around in time before it jetted off into the impenetrable jungle.

Now the disclaimer:
Please do not try this at home(or on vacation). These activities should only be attempted by trained professionals. Respect the jungle and the flora and fauna contained within. If you are unsure, leave it alone. All animals, venomous or not, were released far away from people or human structure mostly for their own well-being. Most Thais and farang perceive all snakes as a threat will kill them on sight.











BTW, I am looking for travel companions for my upcoming trip
