Huge Snake as Photo Prop

The Concierge: Camp coordinator Taweesak Keereekaew, Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle, Thailand

The Arrangement: When a wealthy guest from a Latin American country requested that staff at this upscale tented property set up a photo shoot of his children with a snake, he didn’t fully expect them to comply. But guest-camp coordinator Taweesak Keereekaew knew of a giant python (12 feet long and 265 pounds) owned by a nearby local. Over it came. The snake was so large the kids were photographed lying down with the creature coiled around them like a leathery cushion. “Future visitors should know the snake is used to humans, perfectly harmless, and is not a resident on the property,” says a Four Seasons spokesperson.
