Locationthailand Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 More hocus pocus and superstitious garbage. Ignorance is bliss - but not for the snake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianatlarge Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hahaha. Somehow reminds of the movie, the of which name I forget, with that kid actor, who is now an adult (which shows what I thought of the movie). Good luck to those Koreans. Putting my libertarian hat on, they are only hurting themselves, they are >18, so yeah. If you want to drink snake blood go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docno Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Interesting... recently saw a show on NatGeo (I believe) where the host indulged in some snake-blood drinking in Thailand. No idea it was illegal. I'm sure the producers didn't also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebee Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Is selling snake blood better or worse than selling snake oil? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writeshack Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 You can buy snake blood and gall bladder bile etc in restaurants that deal in that sort of food. Who didn't pay the right money? Ah, they were South Korean tourists, that explains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songhua Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Love or hate snakes, this is barbaric. Cut open, organs removed, drained and/or skinned alive usually. No creature should be subjected to that. Not sure which is worse - this, or seeing live turtles in Chinese markets having their shells hacked off so the buyer can see the quality of the meat underneath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaowong1 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I can think of a lot of things that make me randy, but drinking snake blood ain't one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vijer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 So what is the plan then, drink snake blood mixed with alcohol then have the tour bus stop by a Karaoke bar so the Korean's could do some singing (wink wink)?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Mamma Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The Asian hangup of not knowing how to weed out the wacky and useless from the crap that really works.

craigt3365 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Why is this even illegal? From the article: Inthrapithak (surname unknown), 44, could not produce any licenses or permits for the endangered snakes, which were taken from him and sent to a nursery in Sriracha. If he cannot produce paperwork authorizing possession, Inthrapithak faces up to four years in prison and a 40,000 baht fine. I guess the cobras are endangered?? Rimmer and I find them in our yards on a fairly frequent basis! Maybe living close to this snake farm has something to do with it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaanUSA Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks craig. I didn't click the link to the article, so I just saw "cobra" and "illegal snake-blood drinking". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Had it in Vietnam once (Cobra) NO CHARGE & it was just a bit of a self dare as I had refused it many times before. Not for my libido just a curiosity. I figured we kill cattle,sheep etc and consume their Flesh & Blood ...what the heck.!! Never do it again but never knew it was illegal in Thailand. Will this be another Crime stoppers figure to add demonstrating the 'Safety' of Pattaya for families ??? Edited May 7, 2013 by Ohio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
