Does anyone recognise this police station?

So much for all the people who say a snake will never attack if you aren't disturbing it.

[KhunBENQ]

Tambon (subdistrict) Phai Thon (= name of police station)

Amphoe (district) Rong Kwang

In the east of Phrae province (northern Thailand).

The snake was not poisonous but known to be an "aggressive" type?

The man was somewhat handicapped (one leg).

There was something I read on some snake aficionado's page who said that basically the snake attacked because it got startled. Was rolling over towards the safety and cover of the chair but didn't detect the guy because he wasn't initially moving. When the guy made a sudden movement, the snake got a fright and acted aggressively as a form of defending itself. 

 

I dunno if that's true or not, but came from a relatively reputable source

This was on here last week and must say that man was super cool I would have needed the crash team ????

I assume he used his false leg to stamp on the snake - minimal chance of being bitten ????

Yes, that's a good summary of what happened.  The thread title is misleading.  It wasn't an "attack". 

 

In human terms, the snakes reaction equates to when someone sneaks up and scares the bejeezuz out of you from behind.  People react in varying degrees to that, up to and including a person who, in that split second, will turn and throw a punch blindly in their startled, defensive state.
