l4ml4m Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 how much costs antivenom if you are bitten ? or maybe it's not even worth trying to survive ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No antivenin for king cobra. Red Cross in Bangkok is the only snakebite centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, with a timeline of sometimes 30 minutes before death, it is lucky that most major hospitals in Southern Thailand have polyvalent antivenom for treating king cobra bites.

Daffy D Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Recently watched an episode of "Banged Up Abroad" where the guy was caught and jailed for smuggling exotic and endangered animals. At one point he was talking about King Cobra and how a full grown one can rear up to over 5ft and look you straight in the eye before striking.
