This is the hair-raising moment a king cobra was caught inside a toilet bowl. <br /><br />The resident went to the bathroom in Krabi, southern Thailand, and noticed the reptile poking its head through the water. <br /><br />They called the emergency services who arrived at the single-storey property and carefully lassoed the 5ft long serpent with a snake-catching pole. <br /><br />Footage shows the cobra, with its distinctive dark band around its neck area, being pulled out of the toilet after a five-minute struggle.<br /><br />Workers from the local rescue foundation stuffed the snake into a bag before it was released back into the wild several miles away. <br /><br />Homeowner Khun Gommaton, 50, said he had lived in the house with his wife for three years and this was the first time they had a snake inside.<br /><br />He said: ''We have a fence around the house to keep out animals. The cobra has still come inside. <br /><br />''There's a forest behind our home. It probably lived in there then came through the drain and appeared in the toilet.<br /><br />''I feel better now the snake's gone. My wife's a bit nervous about going to the toilet though.''
