The snake scared both the customers and the owner of the shop in Tambon Klong Nueng in Pathum Thani’s Klong Luang district, prompting them to call rescuers at 8.30am.
Rescuer Thirasak Thongdee managed to capture the python, which was about two metres long. He said it would be released into the wild at Khao Yai National Park.
Shop owner Paengsi Indee said she was not aware of the python hanging from the roof. A customer, who had just dropped in, spotted the snake and alerted her, leading her and other patrons to run out of the shop.
