Boonreung Buachan

Boonreung Buachan or Boonreung Bauchan (1969 – March 22, 2004) was a man who held the Guinness Book of World Records title for spending the most time in a container with snakes. He set the record in 1998 by staying inside a glass box with the snakes for seven days.[1]

Buachan died on March 24, 2004, after being bitten by a cobra during his daily show in Prai Bung, Thailand. He continued with his show, after drinking some herbal medicine and a shot of whiskey, until he collapsed in what looked like an epileptic fit. He was taken while unconscious to Prai Bung Hospital, where he died.[1] He received a Darwin Award for his death.[2]

Buachan was afflicted with epilepsy.[1]
