mania Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Tonight after picking my wife up at work & heading to dinner about 8pm on the motorbike. Passed under the bridge at the end of Changklan where you come in off the highway Suddenly my wife's right ankle is up almost to my shoulder & she is screaming. Next thing I know there is red flashing lights behind me. I am asking What ! What! Suddenly a cop on a bike with the flashing lights zooms alongside me & yells in Lanna words...."What kind of snake was that!" at my wife. She yells back she does not know but it scared the hell out of her I cannot believe I did not see it but that is a crazy section of road where you blend into that fork that allows other to get to the highway going in the Lampun direction so I am watching cars from a few angles. According to her it took up one whole lane & was also partially in ours & moving towards my right side when the car in front of us ran over its body a foot or so behind its head. She also claims it was as big around as my forearm Never a dull moment But when it was all happening it was total confusion with my wife's leg flying up rocking the bike suddenly. Then the red flashing lights & a cop pulling alongside yelling words I did not recognize heheheh Asked my wife why didn't you yell snake or point or something? She said are you kidding I was too scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMKiwi Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I know that bit of road quite well from when I lived in the area. That part under the overbridge is especially dangerous after or during a downpour. It use to flood a lot (Not sure if thats still the case) however you could never be too sure what was in the water....and having a rather large snake in the mix of things would be interesting. Imagine if you fell off and and damaged your bike, then trying to explain to the insurance company. I doubt they would believe your story Only in Thailand huh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) This is an excellent example of what makes snakes so dangerous: causing sudden phobic hysteria in womenfolk while driving / riding. This by the way is also the primary way in which spiders manage to kill people. They crawl in a chick's car, then suddenly go "Boo!" Basterds.

cmsally Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I was driving along a small rural track one rainy season, when a whopping great python fell onto the windscreen! Glad we had the more expensive reinforced glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rene123 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Pythons are common along Thailand's waterways and feed on the abundant rat population that associate with man because of human waste. It is only natural that the snakes come onto the roads. King cobras are quite often black and are the only other snake that rivals the python in length, if not girth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanBBK Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Black and really big.... King Cobra is the only one here that fit. Consider yourself lucky. I know of a guy who drove over an ordinary cobra, which managed to bite his foot in return.
