Every house in this village has a domestic cobra (6 photos)

In Thailand there is a village of 140 houses, where every resident has a real poisonous snake as a pet. And everyone knows from childhood how to manage her so as not to spoil her.





A village called Ban Kok SaNga is nicknamed the village of snake charmers by locals. True, not everyone here has cobras; some people have pythons. They say they have a kinder disposition, if you can say that about snakes.



Is he kissing him or is he already eating?

How is life in the snake village?

The show “fight between man and snake” is a common sight on the streets of the village. They show shows for tourists for a small fee.

Anyone, even a small child, can handle snakes and show off their skills here. The act of feeding and watering the snake by hand is especially appreciated.





Quite dangerous numbers, creepy to watch

Have there been any accidents caused by bites? Were. But it's funny that among the tourists who came too close to the arena. But the villagers do not allow themselves to be offended.

True, at the stage of training and education, many are bitten, fortunately everyone has an antidote. The oldest resident of the village of Buali Chai is no longer counting years, but snake bites, now there are 21 of them. He has even developed resistance to snake venom, so he does not even need an antidote.



Jokes on the level of “my wife came with her girlfriends after a corporate party”

He is no longer so dexterous due to age, because he lost several fingers from snake bites. However, it is not possible to develop resistance to sharp teeth.

Of course they have a legend about snakes

The tradition of keeping snakes began here just 60 years ago. According to a village legend, there lived a healer who saw a snake in a dream. And she gave a sign that it was the snakes that would lead the entire village to prosperity.



What's most surprising is how easily children can handle such dangerous tricks.

He was the first to keep a snake. And then, when he was not bitten, the other 140 families followed him.

And people really found a means of earning money in snakes. But it’s far from a show, it’s just an advertising campaign for a snake store.



Punk!

Anyone can pay $160-200 a piece and take it for themselves. No one will give away their trained favorite snake, but enterprising people always have spare ones.

Would you like to go to this Thai village? Or is it better to go to Vietnamese, where vipers are immediately served in the form of kebab for lunch?
