Snake On Plane: All hell broke loose, literally, when the passengers travelling from Bangkok to Phuket onboard the Thai AirAsia flight spotted a snake on the overhead bin in the aircraft. The scaled reptile was slithering its way from spot to spot, the sight of which was enough to cause panic among the passengers. A video of the same was shared online, which went viral on social media. The video later showed one of the cabin crew members attempting to capture the ‘unexpected traveller’ inside a plastic bottle. The staff also tried to use a plastic bag to rescue the snake. The incident reportedly took place on January 13.
The video was shared on the social media platform Instagram, by the news handle ‘Thai Enquirer’.
