^ They're luvly. We have quite a few here.

Anyway, a bite from one of those bastard centipedes is bloody painful, especially if it gets you on a digit (which is usually). Them tokays are pretty harmless, if you manage to get bitten by one just plunge it in water.

The red centipede hurts like hell, but if you get bitten by one of those dark olive greenish grey type centipedes it is more serious, and you should definitely go to your local thing that passes for a hospital.

Yes Sabang, they do call it a Hospital. Sometimes you wonder though

A female friend was Medivaced from Lamma island, HK, after being bitten by one of those nasties. Not cheap, helicopter job. Capitalist HK has a heart- the government health service is capable, and free.

In rural Ubon, we are blessed with a state of the art medical service.
The Khmer Rouge themselves came here to get amputated.

not what the title suggests

The OP isn't LT. The word for "centipede" in Thai isn't even close to "dokgar," more like "mangpong." .

No, that is a scorpion.แมงป่อง

Thanks, glad you posted that, I have at least one and probably more living around my back door and in my kitchen and never knew they were vicious. I'll at least keep my distance now.

I had one outside my hotel room and the cleaners told me it was very dangerous and not to disturb it from its crevice and better to just let it go on waking me up every 45 minutes all night.

That one maybe needs to see a doctor. Looks like my nob after my first trip to Thailand

Scary shit:



I hope I never, ever see one of these close up!

That's why i've always kept a Chinese cleaver handy.
See about 8 or 10 a year in my house but usually they are dead already, I still chop them up though before getting the broom and dustpan, they are usually about 6 inches long, but years ago when I was tearing down an old stone BBQ I got a big shot of adrenaline because of a MONSTER over a foot long wrapped around an egg sack about the size of a golf ball. I ran to my workshop, got a can of WD-40 and a lighter and torched that beast til there was only a black smoking thing left, wish i'd thought of cutting the head off first i could have mounted it on a plaque and hung it over the front door!

I'd like to extend a big FVCK OFF to those two evil bastards. If I ever come accross one of those things it will be holocost extermination time, spare no one, kill em all.

Anyone fancy a drink ?
