    id happily grass him up if I thought it would cause him genuine grief.

    I wonder what the fine is.  And which member will rat him out...

     

    In the photo, it looks like 2 snakes, possibly one eating the other?

     

     

     

    Just the one fella, but gives you and idea of its size.

    Thing is, 99% of snakes just want to go about their business and if given a way out will take it.

     

    They can't eat you and really don't want to waste expensive venom biting you. 

     

    If I see a snake in the garden quite happy to let them go about

    their business, don't like it when they suddenly rear up from

    behind some boxes or such.

    I'm no expert, but I think he was a Radiated Rat Snake (Coelognathus radiatus) [Thai: งูทางมะพร้าว, ngu taang mapao], completely harmless rodent vacuum.

     

    It's always wise to treat any snake as venomous and potentially deadly.

     

    But unless he was presenting an immediate danger to you or yours one has to ask, why kill it?

     

    Think you just answered your own question, "treat any snake as venomous"

     

    Wifey thought, or rather was screaming that it was a cobra. Besides ended

    up near my SUV and did not want it climbing in my engine bay.

    A colleague went to do his extension at Jomtien last week, correct paperwork more than enough funds in the bank for the required time. IO looked at his bank book picked an ‘anomaly’ out in it and said can’t do it, you used an agent the last time, go back to agent.

     

    Went to korat immigration this week for renewal, everything OK until shock,

    horror, name in bank book does not match name in passport, because middle

    name in bank book missing, has always been accepted for previous extensions.

     

    Stand-off ensued with imminent refusal on the cards. IO eventually relented and

    said she would issue renewal. but I had to return next day with bank letter and

    statement in full name and with same date.

     

    Returned to my BKK branch where a brilliant young lady took matters in hand by

    adjusting my account name, issuing a new bank book and printing out new letter

    and statement. Returned to Korat and all sorted.

     

    Big box of chocs on the way to my BKK lady friend.

    TIT - Take one set of colored and one set of black and white.  I'd estimate that half of the paperwork I take to Immigration for each extension (marriage) are not documents that I'll submit to Immigration, but documents I want to have with me in anticipation of an Immigration curve-ball instead of a fast-ball.

     

    Standard practice for most I think to take everything

    bar the kitchen sink, although I do ensure I take a

    photo copy of said item.
