Thaivisa News Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Chachoengsao:- A roadside chicken noodle shop in Chachoengsao’s Bang Pakong district has become popular for its unconventional view – monitor lizards of “hia” in Thai turn up for chicken bones. But now the shop patrons have been treated with a more exciting and unconventional view. On Saturday, a 1.5-metre-long cobra joined the free lunch at the noodle shop, scaring the regular-guest monitor lizards that crawled back into the ditch near the shop as well as causing panic among some human patrons. Natcha Yenjit, 44, the owner of the shop, called the Chachoengsao emergency unit immediately and the unit sent a team to capture the snake for releasing into the wild – elsewhere. The noodle shop, whose name in Thai is Kin Teiw Doo He (Enjoying noodle while watching monitor lizards), is located on Charanyanon Road in Tambon Thasa-ard. Since ‘hia’ is an abusive word in Thai, the shop’s name has to modify it a little bit. The shop has been popular among Chachoengsao people and residents of nearby provinces that they can enjoy noodle while watching about ten monitor lizards eating chicken bones and meet left over from them. According to Thairath Online, Natcha said her patrons were enjoying noodle Saturday morning when they heard water splashing. When they turned to look at the ditch, they saw all the monitor lizards rushing into the water. At first, the customer did not see anything wrong but a moment later, a customer spotted a cobra eating chicken bone thrown to the monitor lizards. Natcha said she decided to call the emergency unit to capture the snake for fear that it may become a regular patron and may bite the human patrons. “Several of my patrons said my shop may have to change the name to Kin Teiw Doo Hao [Enjoying noodle while watching cobra] instead,” she said.

ratcatcher Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I can just imagine this as being perched on the side of a klong or ditch with garbage scattered underneath and people tossing food down to the reptiles underneath. Just the sort of place to get a good bowl of kwaiteow a beer and some pork skins. Aaah Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
