She therefore sought help from Mr. Panya or Bangya Bonglaking, a famous king cobra catcher in the South.
After Bangya received the request for help, he traveled from Krabi Province to the location. Then the villagers took Bangya to the rubber plantation where the king cobra was found, which was a small hill. They found a king cobra lying in a rock shelter. It was very large, dark black, and about 5 meters long.
The snake was caught using a hook. Bangya relied on his ex

Bangya revealed that on the day he came to catch this snake, he did not think it would be a large king cobra. He admitted that this king cobra was the largest king cobra he had ever caught. Furthermore, the ground was slippery rocks, making it very difficult to work. He admitted that he was a bit worried.
