What is the probability of meeting a poisonous snake in Thailand?
Well, or a spider, sklopendra or other unpleasant and biting creatures? And what to do if a snake bites?
I read all sorts of horror stories, I saw enough photos of tourists in which a cobra is right on the porch of a bungalow or a cat-sized gecko is hanging right on the door. And the spider with the saucer actually killed :-( Is this really true? If I fly there, will I see all this and can they still bite me?
I am terrified, I really want comforting answers that they say this is a case of one in a million :-)

I will say this: not a single self-respecting snake will ever crawl where tourists, hotel staff and cars are not calm and roam. That is, on the territory of Movenpick, the probability of meeting a snake is absolutely close to zero. If you meet - then a rag in the hands of some mischievous child. Scolopendra and a spider are also unlikely - the hotel has already taken care of this (especially, such as Movenpick). There are special services for treating the territory from insects - so that neither spiders nor centipedes are found. So - send all the horrors to your grandmother (Thai) and feel free to go on vacation =)

For 6 times visiting Tai, we didn’t see anything like that. True, we saw the most beautiful butterflies the size of a palm! It’s a pity we couldn’t shoot!

Descend or go to the psychotherapist that he would dispel your horrors. Or you need to go to the Seychelles, there is NOT a single evil poisonous insect, especially snakes. The nature is beautiful, the Indian Ocean, look at the original coconuts, divided by gender. Just do not fall into the rainy season, it rains 3-4 times a day for 20-30 minutes.

Meet a snake?
Do not be afraid of her, let her be afraid of you, it is still unknown who will bite whom more)))

The psychotherapist has nothing to do with it, many are afraid of snakes, and I am one of them - I am afraid of panic. I also studied videos and photos before the trip, but the guide dispelled my fears and said that where people do not crawl out, they are afraid of us no less than we are of them. For all the time in Tai I saw a small shark thrown ashore, ants and large cockroaches, like our "stasiks", but three times more, completely harmless. So do not be afraid and feel free to go to rest!

All snakes and lizards have very beautiful patterns on their backs. Set yourself the goal of taking pictures of them - according to the law of meanness, you will not see a single one! :-))

You are unlikely to decide on a walk in the jungle. Look under your feet, because snakes by themselves attack extremely rarely, only if you disturb them. On Ko Lan, the daughter met a snake of a bright green color, then looked in the internet, it turned out that it was from the viper family. Accuracy and attentiveness will not be superfluous, and not only in Thailand. In the vicinity of Sochi, about 2-3 years ago, walking with my husband near the territory of the boarding house, a snake about a meter long, brownish in color with a pattern on the back, crawled next to me, I was terribly scared, but now why not go to rest. In Turkey, on the territory of the hotel, the husband saw a dead snake, right on the footpath. So vigilance does not hurt, but do not wind yourself up unnecessarily.

sent2008, I'll just make up my mind :-) Thank you more for your advice. I am just now reading about the varieties of poisonous snakes, spiders and other evil spirits, and how to avoid close acquaintance with them :-)

Do you want to walk through the jungle? Usually offer excursions through the jungle on elephants.

We were warned to go into the jungle, because all this living creatures live there. And medicine in Thailand is very expensive, so think about it. It is better not to be stingy and take excursions and take a walk and safely. Again, all questions (and what is included) you can ask the guide.

For 2 times in Tai, we saw only snakes at the show and a tiny snake on the path on the territory of the hotel. Spiders and other terrible insects were not met. Souvenir sellers are much more annoying there))
Beware of sea urchins, although they are found only in rocky coves - I saw it myself, diving with a mask.
Well, be careful!

We saw on Koh Samui on the beach, a small one was floating along the shore. The locals said it was poisonous. Always look under your feet - it does not hurt.

A bright green snake with a pointed nose and a raised tip (like the noses of Aladdin's shoes) is not poisonous.
If the nose is not like that, then it is poisonous.
I remember this very well from the examination of the terrarium at the snake farm.
If the snake is a sea snake, then its poison is very dangerous.
Snakes and other creeping creatures cross open spaces in extreme necessity. The first rule of spending the night in the jungle is to use a stick to clear a clearing for yourself from leaves and other hiding places of insects and snakes. =)
the more vegetation, the more likely to meet all sorts of wonderful creatures.
