A 64-year-old woman was miraculously rescued after being trapped by a 13-foot python in her home. The harrowing incident occurred on September 17, 2024, in Samut Prakan province.
A Terrifying Encounter
Arom Arunroj was washing dishes when the python entered her home and attacked. The snake bit her multiple times and wrapped itself around her torso, constricting her movements. Despite her desperate attempts to free herself, the snake continued to tighten its grip.

Neighbor’s Timely Intervention
Arom’s faint cries for help were heard by a neighbor, who immediately alerted authorities. Rescuers arrived and spent over 30 minutes working to free her from the snake’s coils. Using a crowbar, they were able to encourage the python to release its grip.
Miraculous Escape
Once freed, Arom was treated for several bite wounds and appeared otherwise unharmed, though she was visibly shaken by the ordeal. The python managed to escape into a nearby forest.
A Reminder of Wildlife Dangers
