This is the confusing moment rubber tubes danced around like snakes following a plumbing mishap in a restaurant in Thailand.

The hoses were filmed flailing around wildly as they spewed out water in the store in Chanthaburi province on July 10.

Restaurant owner Mint said: 'It happened at around midnight. At first I thought it was just rain, but the sound was too loud so I went to take a look.

'In the dark, the tubes looked like snakes. I was so shocked I almost screamed, but when I turned on the lights, it turned out there was nothing to worry about. It's quite funny.'

She added the tubes had been detached from the faucets and were spraying out jets of water, causing them to wriggle upright like serpents.
