The Phuket Ruamjai Foundation were called to a Chalong crocodile show around 12.30 pm today (Friday) after a crocodile bite a 44 year old man, Jampa Kaewsai, during the show in Chalong. The man was wounded on his face and ears.

Jampa was moving his head out of the mouth of the crocodile when the show was about to finish but the reptile suddenly closed its jaws, injuring him on this face. The rescue team gave him first aid and sent him to Vachira Hospital.

Another performer was bitten on his hand in this exact same show two years ago. We don’t know if it was the same crocodile.
