Two other shots of the snake, the woman, and the handlers.
Notice that the snake has now coiled AROUND the woman's neck (that's why they removed it).
Also notice that one handler actually has her hand IN the snake's mouth.
In spite of these follow-up pics, there was no real concern among the players- including the American woman.

Bravery becomes foolish ............. I was taught not to put things around my neck Charlie as a kid. To this day I resent things around my neck and a neck tie is one of those things...............a snake..........NO thank you!

you shouldn't have made her do that just so you could get a picture

I was waiting for the spots on her dress to fade as she went into fear mode!

You have the wildest images to share buddy

What a nice necklace Charlie. Americans tend to do silly things...even this guy. I've put a cobra around my neck...but of course I knew it was defanged....or was it A case of do as I say not as I do.

That dress in a place like Bangkok? Shocking lack of good taste! Add spotted snake, and you have a serious faux pas. Her face expresses her true feelings about the adventure.

I want to know if they picked her purse with all the attention! Or did they grab something else!
What do they give you for a few more dollars? Don

Thanks much, guys.
A couple points of clarification:
Even back then, Bangkok was very much becoming an international city, so the woman's dress was fine with the local culture- if not with their old and very conservative traditions.
One of the biggest faux pas a westerner could do was to wear shorts (especially women), and ESPECIALLY to wear them in a religious temple. (Recreational and resort areas excepted.)
About thievery in Thailand: In five trips there I never had a problem- nor did I hear about one. In the two tours I led there, nobody ever had a problem with any kind of thievery.
I've traveled in more than fifty countries, and the only thievery I've been aware of was committed by thugs and professional thieves- pretty much the same as in the US. Or Europe. Or....(pick a country).
The local people of all the countries where I've traveled are honest to the core.
I also must admit that professional thieves occur in larger numbers where there are the greatest numbers of easy "targets." That would include the major tourist cities of the world: Rome, Paris, London, New York City, etc.
Normal caution has worked for me, although I've had cars burgled in Yugoslavia, Italy and Paris.
Small laundry bags containing soiled underwear were about the only things taken (plus an umbrella that I forgot to take into the hostel one night- in Rome).
