In a shocking incident in Samut Prakan province, Thailand, a man was bitten by a 12-foot python while using his bathroom. Thanat Thangtewanon experienced a chilling ordeal on Tuesday when he felt a sharp pain in his testicles after sitting on the toilet seat. Upon investigating, he discovered that a python had latched onto his private parts.
Thangtewanon shared his terrifying experience on Facebook, explaining that he initially felt a painful bite and, in disbelief, reached into the toilet to find a snake attached to his scrotum. Despite his efforts to shake it off, the snake refused to release its grip. In a desperate attempt to free himself, Thangtewanon grabbed a toilet brush and began striking the snake’s head. After a fierce struggle, the python finally let go.
The encounter left Thangtewanon in severe pain, with blood splattered across the bathroom floor and toilet seat. He recalled the horror of finding a python in such a vulnerable situation and described the incident as “very scary.” The snake also bit his finger during the struggle. After managing to beat the snake to death, Thangtewanon called the building’s guard to dispose of the reptile.
Following the attack, Thangtewanon called his neighbors, who rushed him to the hospital. Fortunately, the python was non-venomous, and he did not require stitches. After receiving a tetanus shot, he was discharged from the hospital. Reflecting on the incident, Thangtewanon expressed relief that it was not a venomous snake, saying, “I’m lucky it wasn’t a cobra; it would have killed me.”
