Prompted by this last story from Phuket - http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-news/Phuket-local-finds-cobra-curled-in-bathroom/34909

And are there any "chemical barriers" which can be applied to help to keep them out? (We are surrounded by greenery.)

Thanks.

Just tighten the house, window screens, a hard rubber strip under the door... keep it tight, you'll be alright.

I just read the article in the OPs link, funny, you need Thai language to call Ruamjai rescue, I would have trouble as when I try to say snake ,I always say rat... " please help eek, a rat !"

We've had 2 snakes inside the house this rainy season.

There was a large cobra who somehow got inside a toilet in a home in Nong Jom, Sansai about 2 or 3 days ago. Mae Jo Rescue responded and they had to smash the toilet bowl to get it out as it had gotten inside where the water jets are. The scary thing was that you couldn't even see the snake! Google Mae jo rescue to see the facebook video. Makes you think twice about sitting down to relieve yourself!

I don't think there is a snake help line currently, but this has got to be the best idea so far this month on Thaivisa!

I think it would be a very valuable service to help traumatized snakes move on with their lives, after being chased down gardens and driveways by big, red-faced Farangs wielding sticks and spades and stuff.

Another reason not to cement the bowl in place, but use the correct fittings provided by the toilet makers

Try explaining that to local builders here.....

Got a link buddy as I'm not sure if it's the Facebook page or ??

Snake help line.....

The Snake help line is..........555 5555 or sssssssss I forget.

I live in Nongjom and every time we have a large python on our property, and it happens at least once a year during the cool season, my wife calls rescue and they come out and get it. I'll ask her the number when she gets home.

Yes, that is correct. But don't be surprised if when you call they give you a different number to call if someone else in the volunteer rescue squad lives closer. My wife has another number in her phone list because we are kind of a regular 'customer'.
