PHUKET: Rescue workers removed a five-metre long King Cobra from the wheel arch of a taxi in Karon this morning (Mar 28).

 

Amonrat Thammaphan of the Ruamjai Rescue Foundation told The Phuket News, “At 10:30am local people said they saw a big snake move under a taxi so they called us to help.

 

“We arrived at the scene to find a taxi parked in front of the Mandarava Resort and Spa. People were crowded around the taxi along with the taxi driver,” he said.

I hate snakes.

There's a snake in every Thai taxi....

Did the snake asked to turn the meter on?

It was just looking for a nice place to poop.

Five metre King Cobra removed VIA Phuket taxi’s wheel arch.....

 

This would be an accurate headline.

You're probably cooking it incorrectly or using the wrong sauce.
