I'm pretty sure that scorpions in Thailand are venomous, however it's not dangerous to humans. So probably comparable to a bee sting. it will probably still hurt and obviously if you develop an allergic reaction then it could be worse.

 

The scorpions in my garden hurts more than a bee sting but not deadly unless you are allergic. Had 2 family members stung over the years. Not sure if there are diffrent kinds though.

The first one looks like a flying ant, but might be a wasp .

There are many types of scorpions, the smaller ones with fat tails tend to be the most dangerous. But they all deliver a painful jab at the least. Best to avoid them if possible.

normally the smaller the scorpion the more powerful the venom

Yep, the smaller ones are usually juveniles that haven't learned how to control the amount of venom they are injecting, so you get the full blast.

 

I've been stung, and it does hurt mightily for a while, the universal pain killer, beer, sorts that out.

different breeds, different sizes, did you know scorpions glow in the dark when you shine ultraviolet light on them
