A Thai man is recovering from a bloody encounter with a 3-meter (10-foot) python that slithered through the plumbing of his home and latched its jaws onto his penis as he was using a squat toilet.
Attaporn Boonmakchuay was smiling as Thai television stations interviewed him in his hospital bed about the intimate intrusion, and doctors said he would recover. But photos of his blood-splattered bathroom in Chachoengsao province, east of Bangkok, were testimony to his ordeal.
The 38-year-old told Thai TV Channel 7 that he struggled to remove the snake for 30 minutes Wednesday before he managed to free himself with help from his wife and a neighbor. After his wife tied a rope around the snake, Attaporn pried open its jaws before passing out.
Emergency workers dismantled the Asian-style squat toilet, with the python still twined through it. The snake was taken away to be released back into the wild, according to an emergency responder cited by the newspaper Thai Rath.
Doctors said Attaporn, bloodied but unbowed, will recover.
“He has a really good attitude… even though his own wife and children were in shock. He’s been smiling and giving interviews all day from his bed.” hospital director Dr. Chutima Pincharoen said.

There should be a reasonable cap on what Presidents can spend for vacations, including how many they are allowed and for how long. Obama is taking advantage of the taxpayers hard earned money, when they themselves cant afford a vacation b/c of all the taxes they must pay.for O’bama’s vacation. He does not feel bad at all for spending all this money, after all ‘we owe him this’. according to his actions. Hmm, I’ve heard this excuse before, ‘we owe …’ BS. We dont owe anybody anything!! Maybe he’ll be impeached b/f his luxury vacation starts. We can only hope.
listed under incorrect article–opps..
But you do owe it to him. He is black and that is their culture. “Hands out, Welfare Check.”
Obama is nothing more than a pain in the ass, and we don’t need a poll on that
They should have killed the snake. If it got into the sewer system once it will probably do so again.
Can you say ~~~~OUCH~~~!!!!!!
Yikes!! Penis Punch.
NO! The snake should not be killed! I am no fan of snakes,however it does not necessarily follow that this animal will return. It was an unfortunate accident on the snake’s part; he was just looking for water and got caught up in the system (most likely). They released the animal into the wild-probably very far from the village. Most animals don’t even care for humans. The Big cats don’t like the way we smell-just an (after thought).
