A woman was terrified after feeling a king cobra headbutting her bottom as she sat on the sofa.<br /><br />Fah Ying, 41, was resting on her sofa watching a program on her smartphone after returning home from work in Tak, northern Thailand when the incident happened. <br /><br />She suddenly felt something pressing against her buttocks and heard a hissing sound. The confused shop owner realised there was an animal inside her sofa and leapt up and ran outside.<br /><br />The shocked woman called the local rescue team to investigate. They flipped over the sofa and found a 6ft long king cobra hiding inside. <br /><br />They believe it had slithered in from the jungle in search of food and found the comfy position in the home furniture.<br /><br />The relieved owner believes she disturbed the snake after flopping down onto the sofa, causing it to retaliate by striking the underside of the chair where she was sitting.<br /><br />She said: "I came back and went straight to the sofa and threw myself onto it like I do every day. I think my bottom might have hit the snake and caused it to be angry so it bumped me back with its head.''<br /><br />The cobra was driven five miles away and released into nearby woodland.
