At a school in Thailand, a commotion occurred when a snake entered the pants of an instructor conducting snakebite prevention education.
On the 2nd (local time), foreign media including docnhanh reported, "Recently, at a school in Bueng Kan Province, Thailand, a cobra entered the pants of a wildlife expert, causing a commotion." At the time, wildlife expert Sitiphon Dansirima was showing students various types of snakes and conducting an educational session, with students sitting around in the auditorium listening to his explanation.
However, when Sitiphon tried to hold and restrain the snake by its tail to show it more closely to the students, the snake’s head turned downward and entered Sitiphon’s pants. This was a dangerous situation where a bite inside the pants could potentially be life-threatening. Both the instructor and the students froze in shock at the tense moment.
At that moment, another expert who saw the situation approached Sitiphon, slowly pulled down his pants, and carefully removed the snake hiding on his leg. As the snake was taken out of the pants, the students burst into relieved applause.
Sitiphon said, “I made a big mistake as an expert,” and added, “I will never be complacent as an expert and will always be cautious.” He further explained, “When encountering a snake, it is important not to move because movement can provoke a reaction from the snake.” He also added, “Snakes generally do not attack unless they feel threatened, and due to their instinctive fear of humans, they are more likely to flee.”
