Snake encounters are common in Thailand. The country is known to have a rich wildlife with more than 200 snake species
A horrifying video of a biker struggling to keep going with a green snake entangled around the handle of the motorbike has emerged online. The night-time video shows the biker screaming after noticing the snake and riding the bike with one hand. Then, the biker finally manages to stop the motorbike and steps aside while continuing to film the snake with a mobile phone camera. The incident occurred on May 3 in Uthai Thani province in lower northern Thailand. And the video has been shared on YouTube. The caption of the video says "A snake came out of nowhere." The rainforests of Thailand are home to over 200 of the rarest and most venomous snakes in the world. Renowned herpetologist Nirut Chomngarm takes viewers on a wild snake-catching expedition in this unforgettable adventure. https://t.co/TlMmJgKqKJ I'm not a snake lover, but I think I could become one. ????

The video has got more than 1,200 views since it was shared on May 7. It's not the first time a snake has come so near a motorbike rider. Another terrifying video of a similar incident from 2017 showed a huge snake lunging towards a motor-cyclist as he rides through a mountainous area in Thailand's northern Lampang region. The biker had to lift his leg and suddenly move his bike to the left to avoid getting bitten by the almost 2-metre-long snake.More Related News
