While building my shed the other day I came across this sizable redback spider, I had no idea they were in Thailand, she was with her egg in some steel box section, very common in Aus but the first one I have seen here, I will be checking the dunny seat from now on! A bite from one of these will make a strong person very sick and can kill if an infant, old or weak. Has anyone here come across these before?

Need to contact the thai ag deprtment and let them know. Not a good sign mate.

Looks like the Laotian version to me - note the difference in the red patch with the Oz version below:
