Man jolted awake by cobra in his pants: 'Lucky he didn't catch the wrong snake'

The incident took place in Rayong City, in the east of the country. Ner Khwai Tai is known as a 'snake catcher' and was called by a friend of the startled man, to remove the cobra. He filmed the whole rescue operation and shared it on social media.

The man is very nervous as Tai enters. He is lying in just his pants on a mattress on the floor of his residence. With a trembling finger, he points to his hip. The cobra clearly feels completely at home in the boxer shorts. Tai slowly sinks through his knees, holding a torch in one hand and a large hook in the other.

Tai does not have long to catch the cobra. One wrong move and things could go wrong for the man. Fortunately, Tai knows very well what he is doing. Carefully, he grabs the beast with the hook. The cobra does not struggle and can therefore be easily

On Facebook, the video of the rescue has already been viewed more than 1.4 million times. "Congratulations! The catcher is very skilled, but even more impressive is the fact that the man can lie so still," someone responded. "There is still one snake left, luckily he didn't catch the wrong one," jokes another.
