Workers caught a snake hiding under a customer's car outside a shopping mall.

The security guards on duty noticed the serpent slithering near the white Honda Civic while the driver was away in Bangkok, Thailand on April 26.

He called his colleagues and used a stick and flashlight to force the creature out.

Footage shows a worker poking under the wheel with a pole while his friends pointed a torch at it.

He eventually pulled the snake out and with the help of his friends, they picked it up and put it inside a sack.

The car's owner Nadia Pornpun said: ‘We went to eat food but there were many people around our car when we returned. Turns out, there was a snake. I am thankful that they caught it before we could go near the car.'

No one was hurt and the snake was turned over to authorities.
