Man’s Risky Game With Cobra Ends in Tragedy

A 28-year-old individual from Chiang Rai was discovered deceased in a hotel room in Khon Kaen early Thursday morning, with law enforcement officials suspecting he succumbed to a cobra bite after engaging with the serpent.



Authorities received a notification at 12:20 am about a fatality at a lodging facility. Officers located the man sprawled lifeless on a bed in a ground-level room.

An examination of the body revealed puncture marks akin to those of a poisonous snake on the victim’s right upper arm. Near the room’s entrance, officers uncovered a white cloth sack containing a live cobra with its mouth secured. There were no indications of a struggle.



Investigators discovered videos on the victim’s cellphone depicting him handling the serpent and playing with it. Probes suggest the man may have been bitten by the cobra he owned as a pet, leading to his demise.

This incident underscores the hazards of having venomous snakes in close proximity, especially cobras, which rank among Thailand’s most lethal reptiles.
