Bangkok inundated with snakes as firefighters called out every 15 minutes to capture serpents

Footage shows firefighter Pinyo Pukphinyo removing a serpent that became tangled in a family’s net fence after eating a bird.
“Snakes are everywhere underground, we just don’t see them. But the floods leave them nowhere to stay, snakes don’t like water so they escape floods to people’s houses,” Pinyo said.
