Giant Python Over 6m Kills Pet Wild Boar In Chonburi

A terrifying giant python over six metres long and weighing about 50 kilogrammes strangled a mother wild boar with piglets to death. Rescue workers teamed up with a wildlife expert team, pried open the floor of a house, and together six people carried the snake out, revealing it to be the largest ever captured. The incident occurred on September 24, 2026, at a house in Moo 1, Klong Kiw subdistrict, Ban Bueng district, Chonburi province. The Ban Bueng Moral Association rescue unit was alerted by villagers that a large python had entered the house and coiled around a domesticated wild boar under the house, killing it. They coordinated a response. On September 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., reporters met with Paisal Pornnimitratham, 45, a volunteer with the Ban Bueng Moral Association and head of the Klong Kiw rescue point, one of the team that captured the snake. Paisal said after receiving the report he contacted Nick Nirikchon Cha-ngam, known as “Nick Wildlife”, a herpetology team member and reptile expert who was working in Ban Bueng district, asking him to help catch the snake before leading volunteers to the scene, a wooden house consisting of four buildings at the foothill of Mount Champhu, surrounded by grassland and a pond. When they arrived, the homeowner was in shock and pointed to the space under the house, which was raised about 30 centimetres off the ground. Shining a light inside revealed a black mother wild boar that had recently given birth, lying dead with blood around its mouth and nose. Nearby, the huge python lay coiled in a circle, its body so thick the coil resembled a car tyre, with a dark‑yellow head protruding. The rescuers were stunned by its size and planned a careful capture. Initially they tried to prod the snake out with a stick, but the narrow clearance of about 30 centimetres prevented them from entering. The snake clung tightly to a house post, refusing to move. The team then asked the homeowner for permission to lift a floorboard from above to create an opening. After prying the floor open, everyone was shocked again at the snake’s sheer size—its head nearly as big as two palms, and its body both long and thick. Because the snake was wrapped around the post, a noose could not be used, so rescuers grabbed its head with their hands and pulled it up while others helped hold and loosen its body to avoid injury. Thanks to the rescuers’ experience and the expert’s skill, they safely subdued the python and brought it out to the yard, where six people held it from head to tail. Preliminary measurement showed the python was about 6.3 metres long and weighed 40–50 kg. The dead mother wild boar, also female and recently postpartum, weighed roughly 40–50 kg, about the same as the python. Homeowners Sununtha Saenggiwong, 49, and Udom Phakdirat, 77, said that around 9:00 p.m., while it was raining, they heard their penned wild boar squeal unusually loudly. They grabbed a flashlight and looked under the house, where they saw the huge python tightly coiled around the boar, only the boar’s head visible, with blood from its mouth and nose. When the light hit the snake, it loosened its grip and slipped back under the house, prompting them to call for help.
