pThailand’s own legendary Scorpion Queen, Kanchana Kaetkaew (or Nong Na as she likes to be called), broke her own world record by living continuously with 5,000 poisonous scorpions in a glass box for 33 days. She performed this inspiring feat at a href=”http://www.1stoppattaya.com/what_to_see/attractions/”Pattaya’s Ripley‘s Believe It Or Not! Museum/a, beating her old record by one day./p
pDressed in her iconic white gown covered in black scorpions, Nong Na smiled as she emerged from the 12 square metre glass room where she had spent the last 33 days and nights with 5,000 Elephant Scorpions. These creatures are considered the most poisonous and mysterious of all the 1,200 species of scorpion. They are big, rock hard, and look like they’ll happily sting you./p
pNong Na explained that from living with scorpions daily for the last 10 years she had developed a tolerance to their venom. All 5,000 scorpions had been brought over from the island of Samui. The 29 year-old was bitten 13 times but the medical team checked her out and reported she was fine. Speaking to the audience, she confessed that this feat had been her lifelong dream. What can she possibly do next? Her husband, Centipede Man, was on hand to lend support./p
