Yesterday I was riding the forested mountains on 1334 heading towards Thoet Thai. It's a beautiful road, the rain was on/off and I was ambling along.

On a straight 30m ahead I could see an obstruction spanning both sides of the road. Slowing down I thought, ah a big stick of black bamboo.

With not a care in the world, I casually coasted right up to it, looking around at the scenery.

I put my foot down ready to kick out the side stand.

At that moment the black bamboo transformed into a 3.5m King Cobra!

It's tail taper in the vegetation to my left and covering the full road width to the right in an almost perfect straight line.

It's body was incredibly glossy and thick.

It raised its head about 1m to stare at me. Then fortunately turned in an arc away and was gone into the forest.

What a glorious beast of a snake, the King Cobra.

Beautiful and non aggressive animal, had one on the road 101 in direction of Denchai, unfortunately couldn't take a shot like you as they move too quick. But i know what it feels to encounter such a magnificient but potentially deadly animal.

I was amazed when it lifted a substantial length of its body up to a 1m height and stared me down....it was one of those 'oh fk' moments.
