A 52-year-old woman had a terrifying encounter when a large python appeared in a toilet at the Rong Kluea Market, located near the Thai-Cambodian border in Aranyaprathet district, Sa Kaeo province.

 

The incident occurred when Mrs. Chomyong Srikodon, a food vendor at the market, entered the restroom behind her restaurant, “Paa Toi Thai Kitchen & Noodle Shop”, near Gate 1 of the Rong Kluea border market. She was startled to find a massive snake lurking inside, narrowly escaping a bite as the reptile struck and hissed at her.

 

Rescue workers from the Aranyaprathet Rescue Foundation, including the specialised “Eastern Region Snake Team”, were immediately called to the scene. Led by Mr. Boontham Anusit, the team arrived quickly and located the snake, which measured over three metres in length and was attempting to escape down the toilet.

 

Using rescue tools, the team successfully captured the python after a brief struggle and carefully extracted it from the plumbing. Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident.

 

According to Mrs. Chomyong, the snake’s sudden appearance was terrifying, especially given its size and aggressive behaviour. The reptile was eventually released safely back into the wild.

 

Authorities urged the public to remain cautious, especially during the rainy season when snakes are more likely to seek shelter in dry and warm areas such as buildings and restrooms.
