One can kill you very quickly, and the other isn't poisonous. Same with the yellow/black Malaysian Krait and the Mangrove Snake - to someone that doesn't know the thickness of the bands mattters a LOT - a mangrove snake might scare the hellouttaya. Thanks for commenting... Hi Ray,

Especially the link to all the poisonous versus non poisonous ones. Its a pity that the photos aren't more detailed as I am still having a problem identifying snakes that I've seen around Thailand. I think all schoolchildren should be taught which ones are dangerous and which are not !! as it seems that ANY snake seen in or near to any homes is just KILLED anyway, whether it is dangerous or not. I have taken a few photos of snakes in the local zoos but they don't indicate which are the dangerous ones either. Thank you. Hi Vern, thank you for your interesting post on snakes in Thailand.
