A businessman from Thailand claims to have found the secret of health – drinking crocodile blood mixed with alcohol.

He says he is now full of life after drinking the mixture twice a day for two months.
Rojacorn Nanon, 52, from Na Tam Tai in Trang province, told KhaoSod that he used to feel constantly tired and nauseous, but two months ago he started taking a strange potion every day and now feels unsurpassed.

He believes the unappetizing cocktail provides vital nutrients for the body, blood and nervous system, and drew inspiration for the strange cure from "ancient wisdom."

Rojacorn gets his blood from local farmer and breeder Vanchai Chaikerd, who has run a freshwater crocodile farm for over five years.

The farmer is also a big proponent of the practice of drinking crocodile blood and claims that it has many health benefits, including improving blood circulation, strengthening red blood cells, and even treating infertility.

But despite the animal's sheer size — a male freshwater crocodile can grow up to 3m in length — Wanchai says reptiles don't have much blood. One of the animals contains only 100 ml, which is equivalent to about one or two glasses.

After the pandemic, Wanchai said that demand for liquid blood increased and to increase its supply, he began mixing it with alcohol, selling the mixture for about 200-300 baht ($ 5-8) per glass.

The rest of the crocodile is also used - its meat is edible, and bags, accessories and even medicines are made from leather. Wanchai said a whole crocodile could be sold for 10,000 baht ($293), while an animal without scales could sell for 5000,6000-146,175 baht ($<>-$<>).

Recall, the man ate a bunch of dishes for 4500 calories in less than 30 minutes. He ate steak, chicken legs, cheeseburger, sausages, chicken breasts, barbecue chicken wings, eggs, onion rings, vegetables and lettuce.
