Daily News Thai caption: Appearing in downtown Bangkok

 

Daily News credited a Facebook post by a woman called "Paeng Manrai Y." who posted pictures of a huge snake dangling from a tree in a soi leading up to the BMA offices in Din Daeng, downtown Bangkok.

 

Paeng said be careful especially to motorcyclists and went with a hashtag that translated as #hairstandingup.

 

She then posted another picture saying that yesterday it was a mummy python, today was it's middle sized child. 

 

Needless to say Bangkokians were commenting in droves on the sight of a huge snake - or even two - in their midst.

I wonder if she only posted this on fb or if she also informed the authorities.

Poor thing needs to be in the country not the city. Perhaps it was a pet that grew up and had to go.

Slow day. I posted that yesterday.

The mention of the words python and hung, invoke memories of my younger days when, at times, were referred to a certain part of my body, alas, no more now...

I expect the occasional Burmese python here, living close to Khao Yai, but this one is far from a suitable home. 

 The vast majority of snakes in Bangkok walk upright on 2 legs, their nationality being irrelevant.  

Rains must have brought it down to catch some of the rats that scurried out of the sewers.

Perhaps she had a crush on someone or something!!

I hope the python will be well cared for, but I fear not.

I noticed she didn't get too close for the photo.

Loads of snakes in Bangkok, they eat the rats.
