A terrified schoolboy found a deadly cobra in the toilet bowl.<br /><br />The young pupil went to the loo when he noticed the snake's head peering up from him in Krabi, southern Thailand, on July 17.<br /><br />He ran screaming from the bathroom and told teachers. They called the emergency services who captured the 4ft long reptile with rods. <br /><br />The snake was then dragged outside the home and stuffed into a sack to be released back into the wild.<br /><br />One of the rescue team, Noom Udon, said: ''The student was about to use the toilet but luckily for him he spotted the snake first and told the teacher to contact us.<br /><br />"If he had sat on the toilet, he could have been bitten by the serpent and since the cobra is venomous it could have been deadly.''<br /><br />Officials believe the snake had entered the building through the pipework in search of food after a shortage in nearby woods.<br /><br />Cobras are one of the most dangerous snakes in the world and responsible for thousands of deaths each year from biting people in South Asia.
