Snake in the house!
Taking a nap at the hous eup in Isaan.... during Songkran. House filled with people drinking. Suddenly hear a lady screaming all kinds of stuff, I jump up and run outof the rooom to see what was going on.
Wfie tells me 'snake'..... but it is inside the house, hiding behind the frisge. So the Dad get a small steel pole, pulls out the ridge and gigs out a 6 foot snake that tries to make a run for it.
The old ladies are screaming, I am sittig there still have drunk and not to happpy with this while mess.
The Dad gets the stell pole and the snake. So not knowing anyhting about snakes, except that the area used to have a lot of cobra snakes, wife tells me 'snake that eat egg'..... so I figured it wasn't going to hurt anyone.
They grab the dead snake, take it outside... probably skinned it and ate it at the next meal.
And now back to farmiing. The ONLY thing I have made money on in Isaan is cows. Buy them young, let the family raise them, hopefull have a baby, then sell them off.
My fish ponds keep getting ripped off by the locals at night, the chickens look like shit and I question myself everytime I eat one, and rice is cheaper to buy then to grow.

the snake was about 6 feet long and moved fast. wife's dad had a steel pole, it looked like a snake handling pole with a small loop at the end.
He moved it form behind the fridge, it took off.... the women were screaming, it was too much.
I hate snakes and after that wherever I went in the house I took an extra look. freaked me out.
So then I asked wife about snakes and she said the one in thehouse was 'one that eats eggs'. I figured it gets after the chicken eggs. one thing I know it was not a cobra. I have no idea if it was poisonous or not, just was glad to see it gone.
i aske dmy wife abou tcobras and she said when she was young there were cobras all over the village, the yused to come up to the house and the dad would have to take care of them. freaked me out. she said many people go tbit by them. all tis shit while I was drunk and I thought about how many times I have been to the village, walk around, not thinking.

Clearly you were drunk - I just love reading your posts when you're shitfaced.
I would figure that with that kind of fauna dangers in your backyard, you'd want to offer less of a vulnerable target to the beasties...

Agreed, actually. You can raise them easily if you got a little land. And they're not too hard to take care of. I started (with a couple initial difficulties) my girlfriend's family on some, mainly because my cousin in the US used to raise them and steers too, and I knew a bit about it, having helped with feeding and shots and cleaning the ticks out of their ears and all, etc. But I haven't seen anybody give them shots here. A calf in Isaan could be bought for about 8000K. I forget the price to rent a bull to stud it. Selling is more later, once you got a little herd going. It's a business a family can do if they have some land.

thailife, thanks for sharing your first hand experience of life in upcountry Thailand. I also fear snakes, but love to hear stories such as yours. I always stop to see the snake shows in LOS. Everyone loves to be thrilled. Six foot snake behind the refrigerator that is a long snake........At night I would only walk around with the lights on in the house!
