And within a week or so, they'll be back and frighten the living $hit out of house owners...

What rainy season? We have had b*gger all rain here in Chiang Mai. Those oxen are bl**dy useless at weather forecasting.

Cobras, here ; three in front of our houses last week , usually we rarely see them , just when crossing roads 

Can't relocate Cobras far enough to suite me.

Surely the pythons aren't in the plastic  bags! Are they?

i have been seen many snakes lately. One of them was a malayan pit viper who is the most dangerous venomous snake in Thailand. It was about 50 cm from my foot but before i see it but i was lucky it did not bite me. I am wondering why most thai people dont kill the dangerous snakes that comes around the houses?

Actually, I think you will find that the krait is the most dangerous. But the pit viper's venom is also nasty.
