A Russian man was hospitalized after being bitten by a snake outside a Pattaya hotel.

Sergei Dobrsin, 43, suffered a single bite wound to his large toe Dec. 18 while walking through a grassy field on Pratamnak Soi 5.

It’s unknown whether the snake was poisonous, but hotel employees who assisted Dobrsin nonetheless requested Pattaya officials cut the grass to prevent others in sandals from getting ambushed by snakes.

    Pratumnack is a very dangerous place due to city neglect. I was bit in my calf by a stray dog in Pattaya Hill Buddha Park and needed 33,000 baht of medical care. The park contains many stray dogs and some people dump large amounts of dog food there.

    The dog just walked up to me and bit me without even barking, Perhaps people should wear heavy armor when walking in Pattaya.

    While walking on the grass he should wear at least leather shoe for safety.

    Beware of snakes in the grass... (old saying)
