Python in Thai toilet gives man nasty shock


A Thai man is recovering in hospital after a 3m (10ft) python emerged from a squat toilet and sank its teeth into his penis.

Attaporn Boonmakchuay said the python was "yanking very hard" as he and his wife tried to wrestle it off.

Doctors said Mr Attaporn, who lost a lot of blood in the ordeal, was making a good recovery.

Workers dismantled the toilet and extracted the python which had slithered through domestic plumbing.

It was released back into the wild.

The incident happened as Mr Attaporn, 38, went to the toilet at his home in Chachoengsao province, east of Bangkok, before leaving for work on Wednesday.

As he used the toilet he said he suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"I felt as though my penis had been severed. The snake was yanking very hard," he said, according to the Bangkok Post.
