Unusual Termite Mound and Snake Sheds Discovered Near Nakhon Ratchasima Waterfall

On October 29, 2026, residents near the Sub Tao village in the Udom Sap sub-district of Wang Nam Khiao, Nakhon Ratchasima, reported a discovery at a secluded site known as Tham E-Jia (Bat Cave). The location features a five-meter-high waterfall cascading over a rocky cliff. While foraging for wild mushrooms, locals encountered a termite mound with a distinct shape resembling two Nagas facing away from each other, situated under a rock shelter. Surrounding the mound, villagers found numerous large king cobra sheds, with scales and abdominal segments suggesting the presence of significant snakes in the area. According to Khaosod Online, the combination of the unusual mound and the snake remains has led some locals to view the site as sacred. In line with local traditions, some residents have visited the site to offer incense and seek lucky numbers for the November 1 lottery draw, with some reporting a visible number '00'. For travelers or residents, this site highlights the deep-rooted local beliefs regarding nature and spirituality in rural Thailand. While the site is a point of local interest, it remains a natural area, and visitors should exercise caution regarding wildlife, particularly given the reported presence of large snakes. The authenticity of the 'lucky numbers' and the long-term significance of the site remain matters of local belief rather than verified phenomena.
