King Cobra Visitor in Songkhla: Unforgettable Car Encounter Sparks Lottery Fever

It was a typical sunny afternoon in the tranquil village of Ban Khlong Bon in the Khlong Kwang subdistrict, Na Thawi district, Songkhla province. But what began as an ordinary day quickly turned into an adrenaline-fueled spectacle that had the whole neighborhood buzzing. The protagonist of this unexpected drama was none other than a slippery, slithering guest—a 3-meter-long king cobra—that decided to check under the hood of a parked car.

The drama unfolded around noon when Mat Aleb, a local resident of 44 years, noticed something strange slithering into the engine compartment of his pristine white Toyota Vios. What he saw was straight out of a wildlife documentary—a massive king cobra escaping the midday heat by taking refuge in his car’s engine. With his heart racing and hands slightly trembling, Mat knew exactly what to do. He promptly reached out for help, and in came the seasoned snake control expert, Taweesak Boonsate, like a knight in shining armor.

Taweesak and his adept team arrived swiftly, brimming with confidence and equipment at the ready. They followed Mat to the car, peered under the hood, and found themselves in a game of high-stakes hide-and-seek with the elusive cobra. The snake, a veritable Houdini of the serpent world, artfully maneuvered through the car’s innards, weaving and dodging, as if playing a mischievous game with its would-be captors.

Minutes passed, hearts pounded, and breaths were held as the team chased the serpent around the car’s machinery. Finally, in an act of resignation or perhaps cunning—who could say?—the cobra curled up behind the car’s headlights, as if to say, “I’m not leaving without a bit of a spectacle.” Taweesak, with the precision of a surgeon and the calm of a veteran, used a specialized hook to gently but firmly extract the three-meter sensation from its automotive lair. The crowd, previously hushed with suspense, erupted into relieved cheers as the snakes were safely secured in a sack, bound for release in the distant, snake-friendly wilderness, far from curious human eyes.

But as the natural excitement subsided, a different kind of buzz swept through the gathered townsfolk. You see, in Songkhla, fortunes and fate are believed to intertwine with the most unexpected occurrences. As the cobra saga played out, superstitious residents found themselves obsessing over numbers. House number 42/4 and car registration 5603 were quickly noted—possibilities of luck for the approaching March 16 lottery draw, each digit holding the promise of a potential fortune.

The unlikely star of the day’s drama—a cobra, a widget of nature’s strangest designs—was driven from the town, leaving behind a swirl of numbers for the residents to muse over. Some started to think perhaps the slinky visitor wasn’t here to cause harm, but maybe, just maybe, bring a lucky streak to someone’s door.

As peace returned to the Ban Khlong Bon, Mat Aleb and his family, though shaken, had a story to remember. With every retelling, the three-meter cobra will likely gain an extra length, becoming as legendary as it was startling. And as the clock ticks down to the next lottery draw, Mat and his neighbors might just have their fingers crossed, hoping that amidst the heart-pounding drama, fate left them a little nod in the form of winning numbers.

    Wow, this story sounds right out of a movie! I can’t imagine the adrenaline when facing a 3-meter cobra.

      Absolutely! But I’m more intrigued by the lottery fever it sparked. People believe the weirdest things bring luck!

      • Larry D March 12, 2025

        It’s a cultural thing, Anna. Superstition runs deep in many communities, even outside Thailand.

      What if instead of luck, it was a bad omen? You never know with these things!

    • Joe March 12, 2025

      I think it’s more about the excitement and hope behind numbers, Tom.

    I feel for the snake. It was just trying to find a cool place. Humans always have to interfere with nature.

      Just part of living in a world shared with these creatures. They deserve their space too.

    This story gives me chills. I wouldn’t have gone near that car for anything in the world!

    Did you know that king cobras are really not aggressive unless provoked? We’ve demonized them so much.

  5. luckystrike55 March 12, 2025

    I’m putting my bet on 42/4 in the lottery for sure! Sometimes life throws numbers at you for a reason.

    • Liam W March 12, 2025

      Agreed, it’s important to act rationally in such situations instead of panicking.

  7. Vincent J March 12, 2025

    The whole village turning to lottery numbers based on this event is ridiculous! They’re turning a coincidence into a superstition.

  8. Lara Pro March 12, 2025

    That snake expert, Taweesak, is the real hero. We need more people educated and trained like him around wildlife.

  9. Sam Y March 12, 2025

    I’d consider moving if I saw a snake that big in my car! No way I could drive it again without stress.

  10. zoe_k March 12, 2025

    I love how this story adds to the rich tapestry of folklore and belief. It’s not just about numbers but about connecting to one’s roots.

    • Vicky T March 12, 2025

      And our stories shape who we are. In a way, the cobra became a part of their community legend.

    • John_K March 12, 2025

      Exactly, Zoe! These stories can bind communities together through shared experiences.

    I wonder if the cobra saw the Toyota’s logo as a serpent and thought it found a long lost cousin, haha!

  12. Holly M March 12, 2025

    It’s funny how something terrifying like this turns into a potential money-making opportunity through the lottery.

    I can’t get over how calm the snake controller was. I definitely couldn’t do his job!
