Yes! Siam!

A snake in the grass? No, more likely in your toilet. Heavy rains in Bangkok, Thailand bring a surge in the number of snakes seeking refuge indoors. The fire and rescue department has received over 31,000 calls for help in removing snakes so far this year. This city of 8.2 million has expanded into formerly wild lands and the new housing is encroaching on the creatures' domain. The eight foot python emerging from a resident's toilet was not named Monty. One native wrote "There's an old saying that if you encounter a snake, you will meet your soul mate." The bite victim replied "I'd rather be a widow."
