Well, the video footage of the snake in the Asian street is extremely poor, shakey, and all over the place, but it definitely isn't any kind of cobra. I would have to agree with the other poster by the size and pattern characteristics that it is indeed a Radiated Ratsnake(Elaphe radiata).

A good reptile breeder friend of mine offered some of the very first albino forms of these many years ago in the 90's. This specimen below of course is a more contrasting patterned juvenile, but you can see the very distinct similarity of the patterning in the latter portion to the snake in the video.
