Photo: Eakkapop Thongtub PHUKET: -- A man driving along Srisoonthorn Rd in central Phuket yesterday was given a surprise when another motorist signalled for him to pull over and yelled that there was a big snake hitching a ride under the pickup truck. Arkom Bobthong, 49, was driving his three-wheeler motorbike with sidecar (samlor) home at about 2:15pm yesterday (Oct 30) when he saw the snake hitching a ride under the moving pickup truck. After Mr Arkom on his samlor and the pickup truck driver pulled over, they called Kusoldharm Foundation rescue workers to come and free the snake, which was reluctant to alight from the vehicle.

PoorSucker Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Once I rode my bike behind a lady on a Honda Zoomer, a snake crawled up from under the seat into her shirt. She ditched the bike, fortunately unharmed both lady and harmless snake. I you own that bike, check under your seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey4u Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The snake was reluctant to leave the pick up as it did not wish to be on that evenings menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiKT Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 This one hitched a ride in the engine compartment and came and waved in the windscreen whist driving along (much longer than it appears in this pic). Took some persuading to leave the warm place on top of the air-filter, but eventually departed safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
