In Samut Prakan, Thailand, a family’s peaceful morning turned into panic when a 12-foot python slithered out of their toilet.
Homeowner Suwi Paramas was washing her hands when she saw the snake’s head rising from the bowl. Terrified, she ran for help. Wildlife rescuers arrived and spent over an hour removing the python, later releasing it safely back into the wild.
Experts say these incidents aren’t unusual in Thailand, where snakes often wander into plumbing during hot seasons searching for cool spots or food.
Suwi admitted she was shaken but later reflected, “It wasn’t trying to hurt anyone — it was just lost.”
Her encounter is a chilling reminder that as cities grow, nature still finds its way back — sometimes right into our homes.
