Apparently this one was bigger than that as it swallowed an adult woman. I have seen python bigger than that is Bangkok suburbs.

Some months ago coming back from a night out, the taxi driver suddenly stopped as he drove down the soi to my home - there was what had to be a 3m long python crossing the road in front of us.
