A viral TikTok video showcasing a terrifying incident of a giant snake slithering along the door of a pickup truck has engrossed online users. The video, posted by TikTok user @noodiw030333, captures the unsuspecting moment, leaving viewers to ponder the reaction of the vehicle’s driver upon discovering the unexpected guest.

The video ends without revealing whether the driver became aware of the snake’s presence. However, after the video gained significant traction, amassing 1.6 million views, the vehicle’s owner responded, revealing that local officials in Wang Nam Khiao had helped to remove the snake.

The person who filmed the video later elaborated on the incident in a subsequent clip.

“I was the passenger in the car, and I was asleep at the time. The driver saw the snake and woke me up to witness what was happening, and that’s how this viral clip came about.”

Afterwards, they attempted to alert the other party by honking. The other party, perplexed by the situation, assumed they had a flat tyre and pulled over. Upon opening the door, they accidentally stepped on the snake and hastily shut the door, exiting from another instead, and waited for help to arrive.

The video’s release invited a flood of reactions, with netizens and lottery enthusiasts attempting to zoom in and decipher the vehicle’s license plate number, hoping to try their luck in the lottery draw on Thursday, November 16, 2023.

When asked to confirm the license plate number for certainty, the video’s owner replied, “9383.”
