Probably a really daft question but are there alot of big creepy crawlys around in thailand?

Not really, flies are few & far between, you rarely see spiders, probably mosquitos are the only insect pest you're likely to notice. Just use a repellent and you'll be OK.

If you go out into the countryside you get quite a few milipede worm type things and cicadas, I've seen plenty of big spiders out there too. There are also LOADS of little lizards, but I think they're rather nice!
Also if you are in the countryside you do sometimes get scorpions.

I've probably told it in the worst way here - bear in mind that I am terrified of spiders and insect like things and I live here and I love it, never had any problems.
