This small snake was on my door step this morning. My dog was looking at it and gladly not making any attempt at attacking it. It is about 15 cm long 1-1.5 cm diameter. Was quite placid but when I attempted to move it was made quite a few jumps at me. I then disappeared under a fish fountain..so is still very around!
The house is in Jomtien not far from the beach.
Can someone identify it please. The workers next door said it was a cobra and I would die if bitten?

Sorry to use this forum in a reverse way.
I am looking for a Native speaking russian teacher. Either in Bangkok or in Pattaya. I will be opening a medical clinic in Pattaya and need to be able to communicate with Russians living/visiting over there.
Thank you for your attention.

Is anyone aware of gardening clubs in the Pattaya area. I go to the markets just outside Pattaya Nua but there must be some meetings of plant people in the area. I would prefer to buy plants locally than have to bring them from Bangkok.
Informal groups would be just fine too.
Happy diggings!

Hi,
For 3 years i have been feeding a small dog (not the one in the picture:that one is mine) living on a vacant block, on a "private soi". Last year a mother cat had 3 kittens and I started to feed these too. I spayed and neueterd all these animals. About 4 months ago the mother cat went and died in a retired doctor's house.....I got the blame for this....because the cat died in his house?? Then 3 signs have been posted on electricty poles showing a no dog defecating sign....(like street dogs that roam can read signs!). Then one day the ugly racist card raised it's head....accusing me of feeding the cats in Thailand..."we Thai don;t do this to Europeans in their country...so why do you do this here!"....last week the daughter (that married very well) came and yelled at me for again feeding these cats..full of fleas....(my dog plays with these cats and has never picked up one flea from them)....anyway it got a bit heated!
I cannot take them in my townhouse as i have don't have a yeard. The cats are now about 9 months old. Friendly to petting: never scratched my dog, they chase each other on the street. Eat out of the same bowl... The threaths of poisoning have been voiced out. So if anyone can please adopt these guys i would be greatfull.
The small dog is wild and i cannot touch her after 3 years so I don;t think that one is a good rehoming prospect. I darted her when we spayed her. She wags her tail but keeps her distance: probably how she has survived so far; sshe is about 8 kg.
