Garland vendors weren’t offering any flowers to a
giant cobra that seemingly fell from the sky in central Pattaya.
Sawang Boriboon animal experts were called to remove
the 1-meter snake from in front of a commercial building at the Mae
Wilai Market Nov. 1. Merchants had the scared reptile surrounded, but
kept their distance as the cobra spread its hood with intent to attack.
Pirath Somthasa, 39, said the cobra fell from an
upper story of the building, sending flower garland sellers screaming
for cover.
The snake was removed with no injuries and released
in a more-peaceful area.
