King cobra village

Locals in Ban Khok Sa-nga owe a lot to the king cobra snake. In 1951, traditional doctor Ken Yongla set up a cobra show to attract customers to the Khon Kaen village where he sold his medicinal herbs. More than 60 years on, almost every household in the village owns a snake and the shows are the main source of income for villagers. Video by Jetjaras Na Ranong and Prapasri Vasuhirun.
