Thai Woman Rescued from Python Attack

Arom Arunroj, a 64-year-old woman from Samut Prakan, Thailand, was rescued on September 17 after being trapped for over two hours by a 4-meter-long python in her home. While washing dishes, she felt a bite on her thigh and initially thought it was a monitor lizard, only to discover the snake wrapping around her. Despite her attempts to fend it off, the python constricted her, and she struggled until a neighbor heard her cries for help and called the police. Responders arrived to find her pale and exhausted, eventually taking more than 30 minutes to free her from the snake's grip. Arom was hospitalized for treatment of her injuries, including bite marks and exhaustion. The python escaped into nearby reeds after the rescue, highlighting the dangers of wildlife encounters in the area.
