In Thailand, a terrifying incident unfolded inside a hotel room when two Thai tourists awoke to find a king cobra hissing near their bed. Footage of the incident circulated online, showing the moment when a snake catcher located the reptile. One of the tourists later said that the snake had been 'slithering across my neck.'
Venom from a king cobra could kill a person within 30 minutes. However, some reports indicated that death can occur in as little as 10 to 20 minutes if a large volume of venom is injected directly into or near a major blood vessel. Here's how the harrowing encounter unfolded.
