I promise you and myself not to fill up the blog with The Mysterious East news stories. But this one, from the April 18 Daily Express, a local tabloid, is too good not to reproduce in its entirety. The writing is suspiciously farang-like, but I'll bet the story is true.
"'WIFE SLITHERS OUT OF HOME
"The python-wife of an Udon Thani man has left him. She crawled away sometime this week.
"The 35-year-old Ban Don Yanang villager Satien Kankudlung tearfully says python Sitthida, whom he wed recently, fled the marital home.
"The snake is believed to be his soul mate of more than 600 years. He found her in a local swamp and married her after she would not leave.
"Visitors flocking to witness the bizarre union and hopefully get lucky lottery numbers are being left disappointed.
"Satien believes Sitthida left before spiritual figure Yuan Kongsuwan came to take her away after a deity told him his wife was wanted. A fortune teller told him earlier the reptile would flee after Songkran. Satien says he'll wait for his wife's return, forever."
