A 2.5-meter reticulated python was discovered in a toilet by resident Tattam Hannarong in Bangkok’s Sai Mai district around 3:00 AM. Hannarong alerted rescue teams, who safely removed the snake. “It’s a little scary,” he said, sharing the video on social media. He added, “I’m lucky it wasn’t my dog who found it.”
Experts warn snake sightings in homes rise during Thailand’s monsoon season. Bangkok authorities receive snake reports every 15 minutes and catch around 60,000 snakes annually.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the recent peace talks in Istanbul have brought a new dimension to diplomatic efforts on Ukraine and proposed a leaders’ summit hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “A summit with leaders from Russia, Ukraine, and the US could help achieve a long-term ceasefire,” he said.
Speaking at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, stating that President Erdoğan has been working actively since the war began. He added that talks in Istanbul on May 16 led to concrete results, including a prisoner swap.
Fidan shared insights from his prior visit to Moscow and said Russia is open to further talks on June 2. He stressed the importance of continuing momentum and involving international actors to build common ground for peace.
Fidan is also scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Andriy Yermak, Rustem Umerov, and representatives of the Crimean Tatar and Gagauz Turkish communities.
