Rescue officer Mr Suthee Naewhad (name transliterated from Thai) confirmed that the reptile was captured and later released back into the wild.
One of the guests revealed that his girlfriend had cried for help after noticing the cobra slithering past her neck.
She quickly alerted him, and they both managed to stay calm until help arrived.
Reptile believed to have slid through gap between door and floor
Mr Suthee speculated that the cobra likely slithered up the stairs and entered the room through a gap between the door and the floor.
While snake sightings in ground-floor accommodations are relatively common, it’s rare for snakes to reach second-floor units.

Mr Suthee advised hotel staff and guests to thoroughly inspect rooms before staying, especially during the rainy season.
He recommended checking for any gaps or openings in the door or floor that might allow wildlife to enter.
