Photo: Thai Snake Girl Attracts Loads Of Tourists
8 year old Mai Li Fay, from
Bangkok, is far from living the usual life of a girl her age. Everyday,
thousands of people gather to the front of her family’s house to get a chance of
seeing and possibly touching the young girl, a gesture which both buddhists and
hindu pilgrims seem to perceive as a garantee of good fortune.
According to the country’s
top medical expert, Dr Ping Lao, the young girl suffers a very rare syndrome
known as the Serpentosis Malianorcis or Jing Jing’s disease, which gives her
lower body a distinct reptilian form and aspect. Only a handful of such cases
have been recorded throughout history, so the scientific knowledge accumulated
about the pathology is rather limited and there is no cure in sight at the
moment.
