Popular Post webfact Posted November 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2022 Daily News Thai Caption: Loud screams! Daily News reported that a crocodile trainer was bitten on the right hand in full view of startled tourists at a show in Beung Boraphet, Muang district of Nakhon Sawan, northern Thailand yesterday afternoon. It was the last show of the day and two crocs called Fak Thong and Cola were the stars. Picture: Daily News Experienced trainer Sumeth, 51, was just concluding the show with a "superman" move when Cola decided enough was enough. The trainer was bitten on the right hand drawing blood and shrieks from the many tourists and children in attendance. The trainer's experience meant he was able to get away without further injury but he still required ten stitches in a wound that will cost 30,000 baht to put right. It was not Sumeth's first brush with croc trouble - six years ago one broke his arm. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-11-24 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

twizzian Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Been to this show a number of times just for the kids. Excruciatingly loud speakers playing the as always’ the Final Countdown. Most of the show is egging the crowd on with little croc stunts, otherwise he may have got chomped more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmj Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I guess it comes with the territory. Hopefully he gets paid well, but when you try to play with wild animals like they’re your pets unfortunately you’re going to learn the hard way that they don’t give a rats ass about your little tricks. It happens all the time so it’s not like they don’t know the risks. He was lucky it was just his hand this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he was covered for insurance???? and on another topic if one is covered in the local hosptial and the facilities not enough to treat a patient and if transferred to another hospital who has the facilities then even if Thais they presented with a huge bill. I know someone who had this and my wife told me about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
