Snake oil salesmen

Of course I have heard the term "snake oil salesmen" before, but it wasn't until I came to Thailand that I actually met snake oil salesmen.  They drive into the village in their pickups and take out their snakes.  They soon have a large crowd around them.  When its big enough they start their pitch and sell small bottles of ................. snake oil, plus other items which I don't understand.  I suspect they are herbal medicines.  If they are around during your holiday that would be great.
