ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

The king cobra is the largest venomous snake on the planet, but in a small village in northeast Thailand it has become a welcome resident. Many people in Kok Sa Nga make their living from the king cobra, but in a most unusual way. The men fight these spring-coiled serpents barehanded, while the women dance with fully fanged king cobras in their mouths.
