A snake was caught at a Café Amazon outlet on Pattaya Third Road on Saturday evening.

The cafe employee, Ms. Chonthicha Saenkhonyang, 19, spotted a large snake inside the Café Amazon premises located in North Pattaya around 5:30 PM on January 6th.

 

The snake, later identified as a non-venomous but potentially aggressive copperhead racer, had found its way into a narrow space under the coffee counter, scaring staff members and customers.

 

Ms. Chonthicha promptly evacuated the cafe and contacted the Pattaya Disaster Prevention Center. Officers upon arrival devised a strategy to safely extract the reptile, employing a snake hook and coaxing the creature out from its hiding spot. Although the snake initially attempted to evade capture, the officers eventually secured it successfully as seen on the video here.

Haven't been seeing snakes much for a while at my place.... I suspect because houses got built on what was empty land adjacent. Don't know why they would be surprised to get the odd ones in town.  Plenty of drainage pipes now for them to live in. 

What da ya expect from a place called Amazon Cafe?

You had Charles over for a barbeque?

To be fair, Charles is also fairly harmless unless you cheat on him But his brother on the other hand......

I fear the snakes' well-being after capture will not be great.

Most snake wranglers release them in a safe area away from people.

Well we are in  the centre of town and I hope they can be bothered.

I had to call out the guys of Sawang Boriboon to get rid of a water monitor at my place and they already had a few Cobras in bags on their truck.... I got an impression they were in no hurry to release the critters.. the snakes being from the day before at least.

The name alone scares me.  I like to think I could outdistance any snake over 100 yards whilst running backwards.
