Surprisingly two days ago.I saw a poster of different types of snakes at the Chumphon lay-bys,the rest area for buses to & fro Sai Tai Mai bus terminal to the South.
It was pasted at the end row wall of wash basins.
It's called
Python reticulatus
.(Reticulated Python)Thai
ngoo leuam).
It's found throughout Thailand. The animals can even be regularly found in the inner city areas of Bangkok.
It prefers to be near water and is active at twilight and a night,a fantastic swimmer and is regular swimming long distances in the sea.
These snakes are very aggressive and bite at the slightest disturbance. A snake from 4 meters long and upwards poses a danger to humans, not because of its poison, but because of its sheer size.
