Have seen carts on the main street of BK with deep fried critters but averted the eyes and walked fast--therefore no harm done.Can honestly say that I have never encountered anything insect or critter on my trips to Thailand or Bali that I haven;t already experienced at home. Actually i can;t remember ever seeing spiders in either of the afore mentioned destinations.(exceptions are the fried variety)
My bug bear is the dreaded mossies who think that i am a smorgasbord--but then Aerogard tropical soon puts them in their place.
Cheers laurs
