At the scene in a separate room to the snake was, Ms. Vasana Srivwan, 22, who said she was shocked to notice the snake while she was doing the washing up.
She said: ”I looked up at the roof and there was a massive python. It was coiled around a rafter. I screamed and ran outside to a neighbour’s house.”
