The housekeeper Nonglak Permpool, 56, was cleaning the parking lot in Yasothon, northeastern Thailand, when the neighbour alerted her about the snake.

She looked up and saw a cobra on a crossbeam, causing her to run away in fear and call the emergency services.

Footage shows the rescuer using a metal rod to catch the serpent.

However, when the rescuer reached prodded it and the creature did not resist or respond, they realised it was just a toy rubber snake,

The embarrassed housekeeper said that she believed the owner might have placed it there to scare away pigeons.

She said: "The house owner probably put the snake there to scare away the birds and has not told me about it."
