Snakes generally will not attack unless provoked. It's best to not violate their territory and let them be.
Best way to protect yourself is to carefully get everyone including your pets out of the room immediately and shut the door, then call for assistance. Local rescue service or fire station, depending where you live, will normally come and catch it and remove.
If you are bitten the hospital needs to know what type of snake it was, before any treatment is given.

Watched this one being removed from a neighbours last year
Have no intention of violating their territory, if they don't violate mine.
But my house is fairly open plan downstairs and in the time it takes
to call international rescue the snake could be anywhere, my greatest
concern being it could easily have climbed into the engine bay of my car.
But thanks for the positive input and adivce.

Think that tells us all we need to know about you.

Why would you kill gecko or bother them, or kill a snake like this, absolute pointless.
Love having the small gecko around, but don't like
the big ones that have a habit of climbing behind
my fridge.
And for the record, can't recall the last time was
in mortal combat with a snake, normally I just
see them off the premises..

I wonder what the fine is. And which member will rat him out...
In the photo, it looks like 2 snakes, possibly one eating the other?
Just the one fella, but gives you and idea of its size.

Thing is, 99% of snakes just want to go about their business and if given a way out will take it.
They can't eat you and really don't want to waste expensive venom biting you.
If I see a snake in the garden quite happy to let them go about
their business, don't like it when they suddenly rear up from
behind some boxes or such.

what a Cobra looks like ,,before you go killing all the harmless snakes around
you ,some are actually beneficial , you also kill Geckos ! , why ? ,
regards Worgeordie
Don't like those big monster Geckos. Next time will pause and
check on google if a particular snake is about to kill me.

I'm no expert, but I think he was a Radiated Rat Snake (Coelognathus radiatus) [Thai: งูทางมะพร้าว, ngu taang mapao], completely harmless rodent vacuum.
It's always wise to treat any snake as venomous and potentially deadly.
But unless he was presenting an immediate danger to you or yours one has to ask, why kill it?
Think you just answered your own question, "treat any snake as venomous"
Wifey thought, or rather was screaming that it was a cobra. Besides ended
up near my SUV and did not want it climbing in my engine bay.

Had a 15 minute fight to the death with this fella
this morning, not going well until I got my Gecko
buster out, a long bamboo pole with a fork embedded
in the end.
Managed to pin him down, then moved in with the rat
spray I use on my car engine. Still writhing around, so
time to move in for the kill with the garden back hoe
Think it was a Cobra, but not sure.

No "allegedly" about it, he was clearly shown
on TV last night giving it with the one finger,
no doubt in oh so polite Switzerland he would
have got 20 years jail time.

Clue is in the word "Korat", which seemingly
prints its own version of these forms.

Korat, in a world of its own, has a couple of garbage
forms of it's own making, nether of which are printable
online. One refers to penalties and the other to source
of funds, including your bank details.

Well, if he does not have a re-entry permit,

Perfectly normal, your entry stamp allowed you to stay
up until the expiry of your previous extension, note dates
match.
Your new extension allows you to stay until its expiry in
Feb 2025. Should you leave the country at any time your
entry stamp on return will show permitted to stay until
Feb 2025.
Note: Whenever I return always double check after
Immigration that the correct expiry stamp is there.

Do believe you have to do your first report
in person, after which you will be able to
make online reports again.

You mention "bank letter obtained day before," always thought
this was required same day as applying for extension.

When you get new passport you have to go to immigration
to transfer stamps from old passport, there is no great
urgency over this so wait until your next 90-day report
Is due and take care all at the same time.

A colleague went to do his extension at Jomtien last week, correct paperwork more than enough funds in the bank for the required time. IO looked at his bank book picked an ‘anomaly’ out in it and said can’t do it, you used an agent the last time, go back to agent.
Went to korat immigration this week for renewal, everything OK until shock,
horror, name in bank book does not match name in passport, because middle
name in bank book missing, has always been accepted for previous extensions.
Stand-off ensued with imminent refusal on the cards. IO eventually relented and
said she would issue renewal. but I had to return next day with bank letter and
statement in full name and with same date.
Returned to my BKK branch where a brilliant young lady took matters in hand by
adjusting my account name, issuing a new bank book and printing out new letter
and statement. Returned to Korat and all sorted.
Big box of chocs on the way to my BKK lady friend.
