There are a few of them in the trees in Impiana Phuket Cabana. See them often there. Staff at the pool bar give them food.

This bastard came walking 10 cm from my head when i was sitting in my sofa 3 days after i came home from Thailand.
Has probably been crawling inside my bag when i was in Korat...
Am a little amazed that he could survive the low temperature during the long flight to Sweden.
And yes.. i FLEW out of the sofa.... 55555

Almost trod on this little joker on my balcony. He's quite feisty. Intimidate him and he gets up on his back 4 legs and his little mouth starts going like crazy.

Had a 4 foot snake on my balcony a few days ago but didn't fancy getting close enough to take it's picture and then today this critter was on one of the steps. Not too keen on having these around either

Not the best piccy, taken from a roadside eating place along the coast from patong, got as close as i could hanging over the rail, its a good 6"+ across The web was massive, think it was after low flying choppers or something.

One of these crawled past my feet last week as I sat on the porch. Not too big - probably a meter long were I brave enough to stretch him out next to a ruler.
Looked it up in a Thailand snake book at a bookshop later - red-necked keelback I think it is.

You've made me go and look up Thai poisonous snakes. There's a listing here:-
Snakes poisonous
The one that was on my balcony looked like this...a Pit Viper...gulp

Great link, LOS. Thanks for that. I've seen your snake before (stop laughing you guys - that's not what I meant).
Once I was dining at the restaurant on the cliffside above Kata Noi. My wife got one of her funny looks on and said casually, "Look over there. What do you see?"
I looked and looked, trying to peer deeper into the green foliage, but didn't see anything. Finally she got bored of waiting and pointed out a green pit viper, suspended at eye level in a tree just ten feet from us, munching away on a frog.

Should have put something alongside this to better show the size. It was big enough to feed a couple of hungry bargirls :-)

Most often the best way to spot wildlife is with binoculars, however, these critters are better spotted with beer-goggles.

Some few I had around my bungalows!
I have not figured out yet the 3 snakes, but the locals went from very poison to no poisen  Si I guess most of them do not know what is living around them!

Anyone know if any of the spiders here are poisonous?
Had one as big as my hand in the apartment yesterday and splattered it against a wall. It was probably harmless and just going about its' business of eating all the other nasty bugs but I wasn't prepared to carry on sharing the place with it. The geckos do a good enough job at keeping the other pests away.
