Unless you happen to be around Tony, when I have a snake on my property, I will deal with it in my normal way. Monks and snakes both have the same effect on me. I cringe when I see them - however, I do not harm Monks!

I understand that you are scared of snakes,but remember they are only trying to protect themselves the same as you are trying to protect your family.
Why not adopt this philosophy that you both need to protect,so agree to meet each other halfway and call it a draw.
Approach the snake with a long stick from behind the direction you want the snake to go,it will normally leave very quickly,the only snake that would probably not go would be a viper,take extra care when dealing with vipers,and if not sure wear some sort of protection for your eyes,as some vipers spit venom.
This way no harm will  come to the snake,and you can feel proud you have protected your family,and saved the life of a beautiful creature.
Also the monks will be very impressed with your value of life for all creatures.
This way everyone is a winner.

We had this one in the toilet a few years ago. After half an hour it was gone.

Not 100% sure but it looks like a Boiga cyanea (Green Cat Snake. (ngu kio bon)

Length: Up to 186 cm.

Occurrence:
Whole of Thailand.

Behaviour/habitat:
Boiga cyanea is mainly found in the flat lands. They live in bushes and trees in woods and plantations. These snakes are nocturnal. Young animals are orange/red in colour. The colour changes into brown and then green after approx. ½ year. The animals feed themselves mainly on lizards, frogs, rodents and birds. Other snakes are also eaten on occasion.

Danger:
The Boiga species is a rearfanged snake. At least one case of poisoning has been recorded in literature. The snake can, however, be counted as harmless for humans as they are not very aggressive.
