A snake trying to run away into a flower patch in a garden. Image: Unsplash A gardener on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, has taken the internet by storm after a video of him playfully wrestling with a snake went viral on TikTok. The clip, entitled 'Gardener has no fear' and posted by user @faraaang, has garnered over 16 million views and 1 million likes, showcasing a captivated audience enamoured with the gardener's audacious antics. In the viral video, the gardener is seen engaging in a seemingly playful duel with a snake demonstrating a remarkable level of dexterity and fearlessness. Despite the snake's repeated attempts to escape - and even a few defensive bites aimed at the gardener - he skillfully dodges each move, turning what could have been a dangerous encounter into a display of impressive agility. The video peaks with the gardener capturing the snake, holding it triumphantly in his hands before eventually taking it away from the garden, leaving viewers in awe of his control. The light-hearted nature of the video has led to mixed reactions, with some netizens appreciating the skill involved while others expressed skepticism regarding the safety of the encounter. User @lecupid_98 remarked, 'Never seen a snake being disrespected like that 😂😂😂.' Meanwhile, another commenter, @irshadh1233, quipped, 'This bra has more skills than all the shows I have watched on Discovery - he is acting like he is playing with a sour worm.' The playful tone of these comments reflects a shared disbelief at the gardener's nonchalant attitude towards a creature many would find intimidating. Video Player is loading.

User @yonpinsr suggested that the gardener knew the snake was non-venomous, stating, 'He clearly knows that the snake is non-venomous.' This sentiment was echoed by @lucindabell200, who acknowledged the gardener's bravery with the comment, 'Venomous or not, that guy needs a raise 💸.' According to Koh Samui is not devoid of snakes. While most of the reptiles have been driven into the depths of the jungle due to development, occasional encounters can occur. The site warns future visitors that some species present on the island, including the King Cobra, Monocellate Cobra, and Pit Viper, possess venom that could be fatal. Therefore, it is crucial to treat every snake with caution and retreat if one is encountered, highlighting the rarity of the gardener's brave interaction. In an era where social media often showcases extreme stunts and breathtaking bravery, this gardener's playful engagement with a snake stands out as a reminder of the extraordinary interactions humans can have with nature. Whether for the entertainment it provides or the sheer skill displayed, it continues to captivate millions online.
