Taking Petting Too Far

A snake charmer in Thailand kissed 19 highly poisonous king cobras in an attempt to set a world record recently. One by one the cobras were released onto a stage in Pattaya, as snake charmer Khum Chaibuddee kissed each one and then moved on to the next.

Security was tight, with four additional snake charmers flanking the stage at each corner and a medical team waiting on the sidelines with serum in case one of the snakes snapped. It was planned to submit the record attempt to the Guinness Book of World Records to overtake a previous record set in 1999 when an American kissed 11 venomous snakes. Khum, a Khon Kaen native and a part-time snake charmer for more than 12 years, urged children and onlookers not to try the feat at home.
