The snake in the photo doesn't look like it's 4 meters long. I I'd say less than 2 meters.

I saw a black snake slither across end of walking street last month.

Few years ago, this snake was found under a table in Dang-Dum restaurant, Pattaya Klang Rd.

And if someone is bitten, where can you find the red cross antivenin in Pattaya ? Hospitals stock it ?

I checked a while back at the local hospital in Watt Yaan, they told me they carry antivenin for kraits but not for cobras, which I find strange as we get many visiting cobras but never ever seen a krait

yes cobra seem to be what people find the most ?!
