I'm Sleeping on the Ceiling Tonight

I'm thinking that I'm not liking snakes much anymore. We were in Thailand a couple of months ago, and on a bamboo log raft ride on the Ping River near the Golden Triangle. There was splashing and much commotion (screaming) on the raft in front of us. The guide was trying to kill a 9' long python swimming across the river (for dinner) and the UK couple on his raft wanted nothing to do with it. He failed but not for trying. I think that he lost his tip... and dinner.
