Community Woman Fights Off King Cobra in Forest, Survives Against All Odds
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. In a tale of survival, a 47-year-old woman lived to tell the tale after being bitten by a king cobra while foraging for mushrooms in a forest. Displaying remarkable bravery, she managed to fight off the deadly snake, capture it, and make it to hospital just in time to receive life-saving treatment. The incident occurred on the morning of 19 April near the Khlong Khan Tho Reservoir in Watthana Nakhon District, Sa Kaeo Province. Mrs Supin Wanpen had ventured into the eucalyptus forest with relatives in search of wild mushrooms when she came face to face with a 3-metre-long king cobra. The snake lunged at her, and despite having no weapon, she instinctively fought back with her bare feet. “At that moment, I couldn’t go left or right, behind me were eucalyptus trees. So I kicked and stomped,” she recounted. “It bit my left leg, but I kept fighting. I kicked it under the jaw until it collapsed. Then I pinned its neck to the ground and called my relatives.” After subduing the snake, Supin’s grandfather arrived to help. He killed the snake and brought it along as evidence for the hospital. Supin, who was bitten on the left knee and calf, used makeshift tourniquets to slow the venom’s spread and was rushed by rescue personnel from Pang Sida National Park to Somdej Phra Yuparat Sa Kaeo Hospital, arriving approximately two and a half hours after the bite. Doctors administered antivenom and treated her wounds, which were deep and severe, particularly around the knee. Thanks to her swift thinking and determination, she survived the potentially fatal attack and was moved out of intensive care after two days. Speaking from her hospital bed, Supin said, “In a life-or-death moment like that, you must stay calm. Don’t panic. Do everything you can to survive. I saw the faces of my children and ancestors flash before me, and I knew I had to live.” Her story has since gone viral on social media, with a Facebook post by her friend receiving hundreds of comments. Supin is now recovering well and, if no further complications arise, is expected to return home on 24 April. Her encounter is a stark reminder of the dangers that lurk in the wilderness.
