This fearless snake wrangler caught a serpent with his bare hands after the reptile slithered into a woman's bathroom in Thailand.

Laksawong Teekawong, 45, hurried to Boonnam Charoensuk's home after she asked him to get rid of the rat snake in Prachin Buri province on June 18.

Laksawong, an experienced snake-catching specialist, found the creature trying to escape through the small holes in the bathroom's wall. However, it could not fit since it was too large, allowing him to grab it and drag it down with his ungloved hands.

The rat snake bared its fangs at him, but the unfazed man simply held it by the neck to keep it from biting him.

They stretched out the animal to take measurements and recorded its length to be around 7ft long. It was later released away from Boonnam's home.

Superstitious locals who believe the snake's visit to be a good omen said they will be using Boonnam's house number for the lottery.
