Thailand's scorpion Queen Sets New World Record

Story here. Earlier report here.

Kanchana Ketkaew just finished spending 33 days and 33 nights in a confined space with 5000 scorpions, in the town of Pattaya. She was stung only 13 times. Hope you’re not squeamish about scorpions. :smiley:

I put this in the Odd Animal News thread, but I think them little lady deserves a thread of her own. :smiley:

I find this rockin heavymetal cool as all get out, and yet I can’t help but wonder how the heck you go from “huh, funny how scorpions seem to bother me less than they do others” to “I WILL BECOME SCORPION QUEEN! FETCH ME FIVE THOUSAND!”

What a weirdo.

Put that down as reason Nº157 for not going to Pattaya…

Wouldn’t want to go on a date with her.

Alas! She is unavailable. She married the Centipede King on Valentine’s Day three years ago. Really. Story here.

It never EVER gets boring in Thailand.
