A Thai man is lucky to be alive after sleeping in a tent all night with a venomous cobra in Rayong province, eastern Thailand.
Dacha, from the northern province of Phitsanulok province, posted photos on Facebook yesterday of a snake slithering out of the tent he dissembled moments earlier at the Dok Krai reservoir in Rayong province.
He wrote the message, “It’s almost gone. I suspect that it slept with me all night. I just saw it as I took down the tent this morning.”
The happy camper suspects that the cobra wanted to snuggle up to keep warm on a chilly winter’s night. After a restful night’s sleep, the snake was startled by Dacha taking down the tent and made a break for it.
Dacha didn’t realise how lucky he was until netizens informed him that not just any old snake slept in his tent all night but a highly venomous cobra whose bite can easily be fatal to a human.
