In the picturesque province of Ayutthaya, a couple’s serene slumber was rudely interrupted by an unexpected late-night visitor. Don and Muay, a couple in their forties, found themselves in a spine-chilling predicament when a sizable python made an implausible guest appearance in their third-floor bedroom. The not-so-penny-size reptile measured an impressive two meters and managed to slither its way into room 331 of their dormitory, nestled within the Khan Ham subdistrict of Uthai district. Before dawn had a chance to break, our brave Ayutthaya Rescue Unit sprang into action, responding to the couple’s urgent plea for help.
As the clock struck 3 AM on this eventful May 13th, the rescuers, well-prepared with their snake-catching toolkit, raced to the scene. Don and Muay stood outside their room, enveloped in a mix of fear and discomfort, pointing nervously towards their slumber-invading visitor. The team entered with caution only to discover their scaly intruder stealthily coiled on a shelf, juxtaposed rather spiritually near a Buddhist altar. Yet, with the deftness of true professionals, they secured the snake, measuring closer to 1.5 meters than initially guesstimated, ensuring it was returned to its wild roots unharmed.
Earlier that simmering evening, in a valiant effort to stave off the oppressive heat, Don and Muay had opted to leave their bedroom door ajar. Yet, as temperatures plummeted unexpectedly in the dead of night, Don’s instincts woke him to close it. To his shock, as his eyes adjusted to the dim light, there lay the uninvited guest, coiled snugly beside their bed. Shaken awake by this sight—and likely the adrenaline rush—Don promptly raised the alarm to his wife. Seeking a safe harbor, the couple retreated to the bathroom, nervously contacting their dorm’s owner for backup.
Convinced the python had slinked its way out, the couple initially resumed their sleep. Alas, tranquility was short-lived as they once again spied the persistent python, this time nestled comfortably beside a bag of medicine under their altar. Realizing the snake’s audacious infiltration wasn’t a one-off, they hurriedly rang up the rescue services. Thankfully, their story ended with no bites, bumps, or bruises, save for an unusually energetic pulse or two.
Reminiscing on this encounter, Don mused about the peculiarity of a snake’s seemingly improbable journey to a third-floor haven—an ascent most trepid snake enthusiasts would find baffling. Now, with the benefit of hindsight and perhaps a newfound respect for gravitational defiers, he jested about sealing doors tight as a drum in future nights. Perhaps even more whimsically, the scarred yet mirthful man considered capitalizing on their dorm number, 331, for a bout of fortuitous charm in the national lottery, as if to eclipse this serpentine saga with a stroke of luck.

Wow, a python in your third-floor bedroom? That’s intense! How in the world did it climb that high?
Pythons are great climbers, even if it sounds unbelievable!
That’s crazy! I would’ve been terrified.
This is why snakes shouldn’t be underestimated. They can surprise you with their abilities.
Maybe it just wanted to join in on their prayers by the altar?
Haha, maybe! But I’d rather keep my prayers snake-free!
This story is a prime example of why doors should always be closed at night.
Trust me, lesson learned! We’ll be sealing that door like it’s Fort Knox from now on.
But isn’t it sad that we have to live in fear of nature like this?
Poor python, just trying to find a cozy place to rest. Aren’t humans more intrusive in nature’s domain?
Exactly! Glad to see they didn’t harm it and let it go back safely.
Sure, but I wouldn’t want to wake up to find a two-meter python by my bed!
Honestly, I think I’d pack my bags and never return to that place. Not worth it!
It’s just a part of life here. You learn to coexist with nature, even the scaly kind.
I wonder if pythons have a penchant for altars… coincidence, or do they sense positive vibes? 😂
Maybe it’s more about the heat from synthetic items stored there!
At least it wasn’t venomous! Those would be a whole different kind of nightmare.
This must have been terrifying but it’s nothing compared to stray dogs I’ve encountered in my area.
This only confirms my fear of living in areas with such wildlife. Yikes!
People here in the city complain about pigeons. This is next-level.
I always thought living in a dorm meant safety from wildlife. Clearly, I was wrong.
When visiting Thailand, watching your feet turned into watching your walls too!
Honestly, after the initial shock, it was a kind of beautiful creature. Just not in our bedroom!
I’d take that as a sign of good luck, snake sightings are rare and often seen as auspicious.
Snakes in Thailand are like kangaroos in Australia, part of the experience.
I respect their decision to handle the snake humanely.
