Daily News Thai Caption: There's a number right here

 

Songsak or Lung Sak in Ban Jan sub-district of Muang Udon Thani, NE Thailand, put his fish catching baskets out as normal on Monday night in a pond in the fields.

 

When he approached the baskets in the morning he felt sure he had landed a big fish.

 

There was much splashing as he neared his "laaps".

 

But it was not a fish, it was a large python, unusual in those parts according to Lung Sak who spoke to Daily News.

 

The python was soon in custody and bagged in a fertilizer sack for release elsewhere.

 

Also rescue was a turtle that survived the night with the snake and was let go in the pond. 

 

Now all the locals have gathered to divine the lottery numbers according to their superstitions.
