had a few of these around the perimeter of the house (east side of Pattaya). anyone know what it is, getting the odd one every few days... should i spray the s__t_ out of them or move them over the wall... main body about 5 cm long, wanted to put a coin next to it for scale, and then didn't want to get too close to it....

Whip scorpion. Vinegaroon.

 

Completely harmless to you.

spot on thanks. wiki'd it and as they eat millipedes, they'll be treated with a bit more respect from now on.

its a 'friendly' scorpion. Dont kill them but dont let it come into your house too. They do good if they stay in your garden. Eat other small stupid animals which can harm your garden. Dont step on them also.  555555

if that's a 'friendly scorpion', I'll rate the local ones as 'unfriendly'

 

I'm no bug fan right now, stung by a hornet Saturday morning, a decidedly unfriendly one.
