The owner of the car, a 39 year old Thai male had said that he had parked the car in the same spot every night, but never experienced any problems before. The snake was initially found to be sleeping, but was soon woken up by the commotion coming from passers-by, that had also noticed to giant reptile. It took rescue workers almost 2 hours to get the unwanted visitor out safely, and it has been released back into the wild.

The other day I mentioned to the g/f that it would have been my dad's 84th birthday that day. She went to every lottery vendor we saw that day looking for tickets that ended in "84" because "it was good luck" ! I was hoping the story would say where in Jomtien this was as I had a couple friends staying there and was hoping to scare them a bit. They're from Canada so just the thought of a 3 meter long snake would be scary as it is, let alone if I told them it had been found in the parking lot of the BnB they were in !

wakeupplease Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 3 meter long snake takes 8 to catch it i Thai, now back in Aus it takes 1 to catch a 15m snake, must be that Fosters you can buy over there. So now off we go to buy lottery numbers related to the black Isuzu Dmax. Did you not hear the one that said You Make Your Own Luck In Life and the lottery is for ? Upstairs with sticky fingers we live in hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstairs with sticky fingers we live in hope You said that in Aus it takes 1 to catch a 15m snake but you failed to mention that the Titanaboa Snake only existed 60 Million years ago. The longest snake these days is only 9m long at most. It seems that drinking Fosters makes one exaggerate greatly.

Upstairs with sticky fingers we live in hope the car is pretty low to the ground and a person can't really crawl under it. The snake probably entwined itself around the chassis pieces and they wanted to un pry the beast carefully. Most likely 6 observers/photo opportunists and 2 grabbers!
