In an unusual incident, a large python was discovered nestled within a parked pickup truck in Chon Buri, causing a stir among locals. The snake had taken up residence in the vehicle while its owner took a brief pause for a roadside toilet break. The snake was eventually captured and released back into the wild by the rescue unit of the Tri Khun Tham Chon Buri Foundation.

 

Today, the Tri Khun Tham Chon Buri Foundation’s rescue unit was alerted to the presence of a large python slithering into a civilian’s vehicle near the roadside along the Ban Suan-Ban Bueng route in Ban Suan Subdistrict, Mueang District, Chon Buri Province.

 

Upon arrival, the team found a bronze Toyota Vigo pickup truck with Chon Buri registration plate number กร 9280 parked at the side of the road. After inspecting the vehicle, they discovered the snake hidden in the rear wheel arch of the pickup truck, reported KhaoSod.
