What is the most dangerous snake in Thailand?
Well, I’ll define ‘most dangerous’ as the one that most often bites humans and that most often kills humans in Thailand – the Malayan Pit Viper. A brown, thick as a shovel handle, snake that is a meter or less long. They have diamond patterns on their backs and a very triangle shaped head. The other biter in Thailand is the “Russell’s Viper” which kills more people across the globe than any other. The reason is that these snakes are usually well hidden and someone steps too close and they strike quickly and have a deep bite. The King Cobras can kill elephants because the volume of their venom transfer is very large. The Kraits, Sea Snakes, and Monocled Cobras all have more potent venom per milliliter than the King Cobra.
