The Red Cross keeps a snake farm in the middle of Bangkok in order to make antivenom and for education. On Thursday, Maly, Chris, Jessica and I ventured to play with the snakes. We arrived in typical fashion...right on time--if not a few minutes late...and the first snake brought out was a king cobra that stood on its own to 3 feet high before lunging at the snake charmer; the king cobra was followed by several more very venomous snakes and some non-venomous but native to SE Asia. As the show progressed, the speaker spoke about all of the different types of snakes and what would happen to a person if they were to be bitten by one. He used the opportunity to teach what a person should do if they are bitten.
