A Thai snake charmer kissed 19 highly poisonous king cobras in an attempt to set a world record.
One by one, the cobras were released Saturday onto a stage set up in this Thai beach resort town, as the snake charmer, Khum Chaibuddee, kissed each one and then moved onto 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, according to a statement from Thailand’s Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum in Pattaya, which organized the event.
