A Thai man saved a 3-metre long python from being cooked and decided to offer it to monks at the Kode Thim Tharam temple in the eastern Rayong province. However, the monks declined the offer due to inappropriate conditions for the snake at the temple.

 

Today at 7am, Prasert Linsamphan brought a python named ‘Nong Jiji’ to the Kode Thim Tharam temple in Rayong. The snake, weighing over 10 kilograms, was contained in a sack. Upon revealing its content, the monks and temple-goers were shocked to see the large python.

 

Prasert recounted that the python was close to becoming a meal for the locals, so he intervened and saved its life. Initially, he intended to keep the python as a companion for Jiji, but Prasert’s concern for Jiji made him bring the python to the temple instead. However, the monks were unable to accept the python.
