snoop1130 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 A camel at a zoo inside Bang Kung Temple in Samut Songkram province in central Thailand bit a Thai man’s ear while he was turning his back to it to feed a buffalo in a nearby cage. The victim, 32 year old Worachat Borriboon, recounted his experience at the temple on May 25 to the media. Worachat explained that he suddenly felt an intense pain in his right ear while he was carrying his child and feeding a buffalo. He touched his ear and found that it was covered with blood. Worachat rushed to clean the wound and discovered that a part of his ear had been torn away. He said he realised immediately that the camel bit him because he was aware of past incidents of camels biting people. Despite being cautious, he still could not avoid the bite. Worachat explained that he often visited the temple with his children as it is close to their home but did not expect to experience this shocking incident. He warned others who loved to visit the temple to beware of the incident and also urged the temple to enhance security measures by implementing a higher fence and displaying warning signs.

sirineou Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 None of this would have happened if he was not wearing earrings in the shape of mulberry leafs. A cautionary tale IMO, that puts a new spin in the old curse " May a thousand camels spit in your face" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
