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 the Thai beach resort of Pattaya, 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.
Khum, a part-time snake charmer for more than 12 years, urged children and onlookers not to try the feat.
Update: There's a video here.
