Thanat Tangtewanon, a man from Thailand, recently shared a terrifying experience where he was bitten on the t*sticles by a python while sitting on his toilet. The incident occurred after Thanat, a married father, flushed the toilet to check for any unwanted surprises, a precaution often taken during monsoon season when reptiles can emerge. Despite his efforts, as soon as he sat down, he felt a sharp pain and realized the snake had sunk its fangs into his groin.
Panicked, Thanat tried to pull the snake out of the toilet, but it was too strong and remained firmly attached. In a desperate move, he grabbed a toilet brush and beat the snake until it finally released its grip and died. Blood was splattered on the floor, presumably from Thanat, as he struggled with the snake. After the ordeal, he asked a neighbor to take him to the hospital, where he received medical treatment for the snake bites.

Fortunately, the snake was non-venomous, which provided some relief despite the painful and shocking encounter. Thanat shared his story on social media, including a video of the aftermath, which showed the dead snake and the bloody scene. He has since reported feeling better and is recovering from the injuries to his groin.
This incident highlights the unexpected dangers that can arise, even in seemingly safe environments like one’s own home. Thanat’s quick thinking and action likely prevented more severe injuries, but the experience serves as a chilling reminder of the unpredictability of nature, especially in regions where wildlife can make unexpected appearances.
