Prachinburi: A durian orchard in Ban Phra Subdistrict, Mueang Prachinburi District, became the setting for an unusual spectacle as two snakes were seen courting in the middle of the orchard. The owner expressed that instead of being surprised, he viewed the event as a stroke of good luck and fortune.
According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Sukanya, aged 55, captured the event on video while spraying pesticide on her durian trees. She noticed the snakes in a mating state and quickly recorded the scene with her mobile phone. Despite frequently encountering cobras and king cobras in her orchard, this was the first time she had witnessed such behavior. Rather than feeling fear, she embraced the sight as a positive omen, hoping it would bring prosperity to her family. Encouraged by her belief in the symbolism of the event, she plans to try her luck in the lottery, using her age and house number.
The occurrence of snakes mating is often interpreted as a symbol of fertility and good fortune. However, wildlife experts advise maintaining a safe distance and avoiding disturbance if such encounters occur in the wild, to ensure the safety of both humans and animals.
