This story can give people with phobias nightmares: A highly venomous cobra crawled into the underpants of a Thai construction worker while he was sleeping. A snake catcher had to be called out.

It must have been a rude awakening for the man from Rayong. During his night's rest, the venomous snake had made itself at home in his underpants. The construction worker had slept on a mattress on the floor in his home. 

A nightmare come true: a cobra had chosen a pair of boxer shorts as its refuge.

Incident also attracted many onlookers
Friends of the victim then alerted a snake catcher from Snake and Rescue Rayong to retrieve the snake. They used a hook to pull it out of the underpants. The bizarre incident attracted a number of onlookers - even before the helpers arrived, a crowd had gathered in front of the house, according to media reports.

User joked: "There's one left"
The video that the animal catcher shared on social media was clicked on numerous times and humorously commented on by some users. "There's one left," commented one, and another warned: "Don't catch the wrong one."

The man kept his nerve during his rescue - the snake was eventually removed from his underwear without biting the worker.
