King Cobra: best places to see it in Thailand and Malaysia ? (Pulau Tioman in particular)

Ruggero Aug 31, 2003 07:29 AM

Dear Friends, I'm an italian erpetologist, and in the future I would like to make holydays in South-East Asia.
I've already been in Borneo and Thailand, but I've never met a King Cobra in nature, even if one specimen was repeatedly observed near the Lodge where I stayed in Borneo.
The island of Tioman in Malaysia (West Malaysia) is very interesting and known for its snake fauna.
Can someone of you confirm to me that in Tioman one could find the King Cobra too ?
Which places or National Parks in THailand or Malaysia are, to your knowledge, the best to meet, hopefully, this wonderful snake in its habitat ?

Thank you very much !

Ruggero
