The Bangkok international airport has issued an apology for the snake that was found in a luggage cart
Bangkok's main international airport issued an
apology after a snake slithered into the arrival
hall and wrapped itself around the base of a
luggage cart over the weekend.
Suvarnabhumi (pronounced "Suwanapoom")
International Airport, which was built on land
previously known as "Cobra Swamp," said it
would like to "apologize for the incident that
frightened passengers" on Sunday.
A female passenger spotted the snake after
placing luggage on the cart as she prepared to
leave the arrival hall, the statement said.
"After being alerted, security officers captured
the snake right away and no passengers were
injured," Airports of Thailand said in a
statement Sunday that described the reptile as
"a small baby snake" but did not identify the
species.
Snake expert Thanaphong Tawan at a Bangkok
snake farm run by the Thai Red Cross Society
said the snake appeared to be a Malayan Bridle
snake, a non-venomous variety, based on a
picture taken at the airport and published by
Thai media.
The statement sought to "reassure that clear
and strict measures have been imposed to
prevent all poisonous animals from slipping into
the airport's buildings" and it was believed "the
baby snake managed to slip into the airport
because it was very small."
