Snake Nabbed in Naklua North Pattaya

Workers at The Thappraya 2310 Rescue Foundation were on a tea break when the call came in. A large snake had been spotted in Naklua and they were the experts on duty. They didn't re-coil to the call of duty gathered their snake catching equipment and slithered to the scene.

Khun Prakorn a 34 year old security guard at The Lec Vills hotel in Soi Naklua 18/2 was waiting for the reptilian rescue squad and took them to the location where they were confronted with a 4 meter long boa constrictor curled up in the parking lot. The security guard explained that as far as he knew the Boa was not a guest at the hotel and was therefore not allowed to park himself there.

The volunteer snake snatchers had come prepared and were armed with the latest hi-tech snake catching equipment. A hooped rope on a bamboo pole and a large empty fertiliser bag.

It was not long before they had the stupendous slithering snake safely ensconced in the fertiliser bag and to the relief of the security guard they were soon departing the premises with the temporary resident who will be released into a wild and lonely place well away from people and hotels.
