Tarantulas

Post by Jack_Batty »

Has anybody had any encounters with tarantulas in Hua Hin? I would have thought they would be abundant, given the climate, but I’ve been here almost eight months and I don’t recollect seeing any spiders at all, let alone a tarantula. My girlfriend has been here for 15 years and she says she has seen some, but she can’t recall when or where. I’ve never seen one, except in a pet shop or zoo, and I would love to find one.

In 20 years, I've come across 1 tarantula some years ago. It was on the garden wall. I watched it for a while....... then the cat killed it!

You've got a bloody cat? And then you wonder why the rain Gods don't like you! :twisted:

Haha. Well they've certainly made up for their lack of interest over the last few days. Heavy rain at 3pm every day. I'll keep my mouth shut in future!
