My 1999 Persian Gulf Deployment #6: Phuket, Thailand - Snake show!

These videos are from my first deployment to the Persian Gulf, June-December, 1999. I was aboard HMCS Regina which was a part of a US Battlegroup headed by the USS Constellation aircraft carrier.

This is the last video from our 9 days in Phuket (poo-KET), Thailand. We decided to go see a snake show. They take cobras from the surrounding jungle, screw with them for 10 days and then release them back into the wild. We also saw a boa constrictor and a few mangrove snakes. Yeah, I've never heard of them either.

What I didn't catch on film was the evil monkey that was waiting for me in a tree by the baby elephant at the end. He stole my sunglasses and ripped off the plastic part that goes behind my ear. Then he made a grab for my video camera. Oh hell no, I'll beat a monkey to death before I let him mess with my expensive toy I bought right before the deployment.

That's about it from Thailand. Next stop: Bahrain!
