A 3-meter-long python slithered along an electrical wire and caused an electrical fire in Soi Buakhao 15, Pattaya, on the morning of September 11th. The snake survived the incident with minor burns and injuries.

 

A power outage was reported at Soi Buakhao 15 in Pattaya around 5:06 AM today, followed by a fire that erupted on overhead communication wires in the alley. The outage lasted for almost three hours at some venues and condos in the area.

 

Sawang Boriboon rescue workers, firemen, and The Pattaya News reporters rushed to the scene to find flames vigorously burning on a power pole situated near an ongoing construction site within Soi Buakhao 15. It took the authorities about 20 minutes to finally subdue the flames.

what a pity!

i know that Mother Nature needs biodiversity to survive, but i'm sorry, i can't stand snakes, venomous or not.

In our area they are killed with no other form of hesitation.
