Snake Causes Chaos On Bangkok-Phuket Flight

[webfact]

 

A VIDEO clip showing a snake slithering on an airplane flying from Bangkok to Phuket has gone viral with over a million views so far and questions being asked about how the critter got there in the first place, Matichon newspaper said today (Jan. 16).

 

Chaos erupted on this flight on Saturday Jan. 13 with the video clip showing a flight attendant capturing the snake being uploaded on TikTok by @wannabnailssalon.

 

She said upon flying back to Phuket after completing her studies in Bangkok the snake was spotted on the plane after the captain had announced that they were about to land and not leave their seat.

 

She continued napping but woke up fully when the person seated next to her became agitated and told her that there is a snake right above them.

Maybe it bought a ticket? Hissness class?

Hard to tell from the video but probably a bridle snake, non-venomous.  But some could mistake it for a krait.

Well done to the cool calm guy,  with the plastic bag and bottle.

I'll second that, cool attendant.

They questioned how did it get on the plane. There must be  a hundred ways a snake could do that, from across a runway, to a cleaners bin. Snakes can climb a vertical wall.

It was interrogated but venomously denied accusation of attempted murder.

Sid had no boarding pass or seat reservation was bagged and is now hopefully a watch strap 🤔

Same thing happened to me , returning from USA , Heathrow to Dublin , I had

bought a Garter snake , had it in paper bag with holes in, I know , I know, further

down the front I heard some drunk Irishmen cry out "There's a snake" , the air hostess

is saying your drunk , but I knew they were telling the truth , just managed to catch it before

it got in air vent .

 

Got a right bollocking off air hostess ,and it could have proven costly for me if it had of gotten

in the air vent , they would have had too pull the interior to bits to find it,

I think you are correct. Only other choice would be a juvinile golden tree snake. Either way both are non-venomous to humans.

Rubbish pic but probably a golden tree snake.They get everywhere.

Once woke up to see one on my bed with me.

Harmless.

[wpcoe]

Good job trying to get it into the bottle.  I had a family of golden tree snakes in a house and they always escaped to things with holes in them, like the back of a TV cabinet with holes for wires, into the open ends of the square iron support beams in the roof, etc.  Maybe if it hadn't been a clear bottle, it might have worked.  Clearly the guy knew it wasn't a harmful snake.

a farang trouser snake let loose

Fly 1st class and you get a Cobra.

I might add even with a plastic bag over his head.
