Blue Krait

The Blue Krait, also known as the Malayan Krait, is native to Southeast Asia and ranks among Thailand's most venomous snake species. Its diet primarily consists of other snakes, lizards, and frogs. A bite from this snake can result in coma, brain death, and asphyxiation, which are the primary causes of fatality. While they are less prone to biting during daylight hours, their nocturnal behavior increases the likelihood of encounters at night. Death usually ensues within 12-24 hours after a bite, with a mortality rate of approximately 60% for those bitten by this krait.
