Bangkok - A tourist who couldn't get his rented car to start discovered that a five-metre-long python was the cause of his engine problem, Thai newspapers reported on Sunday.

The unidentified tourist, who had parked his car outside the Krabi Royal Hotel in Krabi, 600km south of Bangkok, had to ask for assistance when he couldn't get the engine to turn over on Friday night, reported The Nation newspaper.

A peek under the hood revealed the problem - a python was constricting the engine. Authorities, who spent more than an hour unwrapping the snake from the engine, freed the car-loving python unharmed in a nearby forest. - Sapa-dpa
