Can anybody name this spider and is it poisonous?

I name this spider Itsy-Bitsy...

Huntsman spider, although this one is very red.

Is it poisonous? No, perfectly safe to eat.

It is venomous though, but shy and not considered dangerous to humans. Females of some spp. can be aggressive give a nasty bite if cornered and defending eggs.

Thanks for the answer and good that we got this Huntsman spider named Itsy-Bitsy (VERT FYNNY)

I came across this spider while walking in the jungle in Borneo.

Ahh, Borneo.

We can only Thai spiders.

Could be anything and venomous.

I have found a picture of a similar spider (2nd on the below link), but still not 100% if it is a Huntsman:
