wellred Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 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.

C5VETTE Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 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.

Pink Mist Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 normally the smaller the scorpion the more powerful the venom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 5 minutes ago, bronco said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
