this is the warning on a travel website i used ages ago and saved,


Poisonous Scorpions in Thailand

Skorpion


Size: < 10 cm

Habitat: Throughout Thailand, ground level only.

Characteristics: Colour is from grey to brown and black.

Danger level: harmless

The scorpions in Thailand do have poison, however it is so mild that it is comparable to the sting of a bee or a wasp. The sting is painful but harmless, however some people might develop an allergic reaction. The sting should therefore be immediately disinfected.

For conservation reasons please do not kill these animals, but catch them and free them into the wild.
