In Thailand, a huge python attacked a woman doing the dishes and then wrapped itself around her.

The 64-year-old Arom Arunroj was miraculously spared from the 44-pound python’s clutches after it broke into her house in Samut Prakan, a province south of Bangkok, and bit her multiple times. Before rescuers could break into her house and remove her from its hold, she made it through the two-hour ordeal.

She described to the Thai media how, at approximately 7:30 p.m., she was doing the dishes when she felt something bit her leg. She recognised it was a snake when she peered down.

She discovered she was alone when no one responded to her cries for help after attempting to fight the creature. She took hold of the python’s head, hoping it would let her go, “but it didn’t, instead it kept strangling me”, she explained. At around 10pm, a neighbour finally heard her desperate calls and contacted the police, according to Thai media.

Police were observed taking the grandma out of her house.

Sergeant Major Anusorn Wongmali Anusorn of the local police department recounted hearing a voice inside after kicking in the door. He mentioned that the reason the python had been coiling around her for a long time was probably “because her skin was pale”.

He added: “It was a python, a big one. I saw a bite mark on her leg but [knew] there might be some elsewhere too.” He claimed that he prodded the snake in an attempt to assist once he got near enough.

The first responders captured footage of the python, which measured around 13 feet in length and weighed over 44 pounds. It’s evident that it’s around Arom’s waist.

Arom was taken to the hospital for treatment after the police called the She Poh Tek Tung rescue group to remove the snake. Since pythons suffocate their victims, their bites aren’t poisonous, but if they’re not treated, they can lead to illnesses.

About 12,000 persons in the nation received treatment in 2023 for bites from dangerous animals, 26 of whom passed away from snakebites. Last month, a man in the same vicinity was bit on the testicles by a python as he was seated on his toilet. In order to stop it from creeping more into his house, he was able to defeat it using his fist and a toilet brush. He was provided antibiotics and described feeling traumatised by the event when a neighbour raised the alarm.
