Phuket: A Chinese tourist has been paid 2,200 pounds in compensation after she was bitten in the nose by a python during a snake show in Thailand.
According to reports, the tourist, who has been identified as 29-year-old Jin Jing, was on a visit to Thailand's Phuket Biotechnology's office in Tambon Chalong Muang Phuket. A video that has gone viral in the Internet, shows an excited Jing leaning over and attempting to kiss a python being held by a man. In a quick movement, the snake is seen launching itself and with a tight grip, bite the young woman's nose, as onlookers scream in horror.
She was immediately taken to the local hospital, where she was provided with adequate treatment. A photo, released later by media houses, shows Jing with several stitches on her nose. She was later compensated by the company.
