Sawang Ariya rescue services in Nakhon Nayok, central Thailand, were called after diners at an a la carte restaurant spotted a python in the rafters.

 

Yossawdee, 46, the owner of the shop in Pakha sub-district said she was alerted to the snake by customers, some of whom shrieked and some whom just wanted the number of the shop (212 in Moo 9) to help with winning the lottery.

77kaoded who covered the story made a point of showing the registration plate (6213) of the pick-up used by the snakecatchers in a video.

 

The vehicle came in useful after staffers failed to get the 2 meter long snake down from the roof with a stick.

 

They stood in the back of the pick-up and lassoed the serpent that had taken up residence by a metal support piece 4 meters up.

The snake was returned to nature while the customers prepared for the next lottery draw on Monday. 

 

The video showed a smiling Yosswadee taking the incident in her stride.
