Bitten By Cobra - Deadly Snake Bite in Thailand

My friend, Dtom, was bitten by a monocled cobra - Naja kaouthia. This is his 4th monocled cobra bite since he's been handling snakes at the Krabi Cobra Show in Ao Nang Beach, Krabi, Thailand.

Video is of interview with him and Jackie and Dtom telling about what happened.

Is that dried blood or rotten flesh?

[thaipulsedotcom]

@Brudof I think some of both.

Hey Vern, interesting video. Thats a nasty looking necrotic bite there, although i guess that guy is actually pretty lucky....it could hav been a lot worse. I dont recognise that guy, is he new at the Ao Nang snake park?

[thaipulsedotcom]

@Faunasia He was there years ago - and came back after beginning a business near Bangkok in his home province. He has been back since pretty much right after you left. He worked there at the snake show for 3-4 years about 7 years ago. He really is confident handling the snakes. Great guy too. This being his 4th bite... it didn't affect him too much.

I have also seen the show.

I've seen that show in Krabi! One of the most amazing spectacles I have ever witnessed!

Wow. His old bites left quite a scar. He's very lucky that it didn't affect him much.

I liked how he handle his pain :o

I'm always impressed by the how happy the Thai people are.

ill find out in person later this month.

Waaw, but see it on the positive side

If he needs a arthroscopy for his meniscus it could be handy

What a lowsy joke, well at least I'm laughing my head off

[timkul76]

looks like he has a big hole in his thigh... dont think I'd want that to happen to me though

listening to way you speak english when you talk to them.. makes me laugh (I do the same thing) have you ever noticed? It's hard not to try and speak like they do (in broken english) I catch myslef doing it all the time, when I talk to some friends of mine who are chinese. It's like when we talk to a baby, and we use baby talk...of course the professionals say it's not good to do so, as it teaches those trying to learn our language bad language skills. Anyways Glad he's OK and will live! ~Lee

So, since he's been bitten 4 times now he must have fairly good immunity, right?

[cashstore1]

That had to hurt. Is there a video of it?
