This is the chilling moment a deadly snake sparked panic after creeping up on a group of lads having a BBQ.<br /> <br />Patiphat Kheawsing, 30, and four pals were eating pork and rice outside their home in Chanthaburi, eastern Thailand.<br /> <br />CCTV footage shows how the highly venomous banded krait - which can kill humans - slithered towards the group.<br /> <br />One of the group stood up to go to the toilet when he turned round and saw the reptile on the ground just inches from his feet.<br /> <br />He jumped and dashed away as the other men noticed and also ran. The snake then slithered away into the bushes.<br /> <br />Patiphat said: ''We were just relaxing and never thought about snakes. Now this will be on our minds every time we sit outside.<br /> <br />''If my friend hadn't stood up to go to the toilet it could have bitten one of us.''<br /> <br />Patiphat's wife, Praew, said they checked the garden the next morning to make sure the snake was not hanging around.<br /> <br />The banded krait snake, which is found on the Indian Subcontinent and in Southeast Asia, is normally shy so encounters with humans are rare.<br /> <br />However, their bites have a mortality rate between one and 10 per cent, with symptoms including vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and dizziness, respiratory failure and death.
