Woman’s hotel nightmare after her room is invaded by ‘2,000 moths’ and a ‘killer snake’ when she opened her door for ‘a split second’
A woman has suffered a hotel nightmare after her room was invaded by ‘2,000 moths’ and a ‘killer snake’.
Backpacker Jemma Sayer captured the chaos in her room in Thailand in a TikTok video, with the following caption: ‘When you check into your hotel and open the door at night a deadly snake comes towards you and more fly than 2,000 moths inside. ‘
In her clip, which has racked up more than 3.9 million views, a flood of moths can be seen latched onto the bed and under the insect net, while a group of moths circled the room’s ceiling lamp.
Most followers were left in panic by the terrifying video, with one person commenting: ‘I would leave this life.’

The video shows Jemma’s room with items of clothing strewn everywhere, as her friend stands next to her assessing what to do next.
A hotel worker is also seen wearing a blue headlamp while standing right next to the central location of the moths on the bed.
The insect net above the bed had a lot of holes in it, which seems to be from the moths eating through it.
She captioned the video: “The man with the bat just says it all.”
Jemma provided further context in the comments.
She wrote: βTo be clear, we didn’t just leave the door wide open. We opened the door for a split second to go out, and a jungle of moths and a snake came into our room.”
The content creator added that the ‘killer snake’ in question was a cobra snake.
Jemma also shared: ‘We were upgraded to a different room but yeah, it’s safe to say we didn’t get much sleep that night.’
