Couple wakes up to cobra hissing near bed in Thailand hotel. Video is viral

A relaxing holiday in Thailand turned into a nightmare for a couple after they woke up to find a venomous cobra inside their hotel room, an incident that has since sparked widespread concern over guest safety in nature-adjacent accommodations.

The unsettling episode reportedly took place in Krabi and came to light after Facebook user Kannuttakorn Uttaranakron shared their experience online. According to the post, the incident unfolded in the early hours of the morning, around 5 am, when the guest’s partner suddenly jumped out of bed in panic, screaming that there was a snake.

At first, the situation seemed almost unreal. In the confusion of being abruptly woken up, the poster admitted they initially thought it might be something supernatural. But within moments, the terrifying truth became clear, a large black cobra had made its way into their room.

Even more alarming was how close the encounter had been. According to the Pattaya Mail, the snake had reportedly slithered across the bed and even passed over the guest’s neck while they were asleep. “Snake, it crawled over my neck,” the partner recalled, a statement that captures the sheer horror of the moment.

Fortunately, despite the extremely dangerous situation, neither of them was bitten. However, the psychological shock of the encounter has lingered, with the couple describing the experience as deeply traumatic.

Images shared online show the cobra inside the hotel room, raising serious questions about safety protocols. Many on social media have since pointed out that hotels located near forests or natural landscapes must take extra precautions to prevent such incidents.
