Have a name ? Scientific name ?
Location: Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.
This is a spider found indoor.
Light switch Spider. Can turn your lights out in an instant. Fucking deadly!
I am not an expert, so do not take what I say for “should I let this thing bite me”, but in Washington and the UK we have “giant house spiders” that look just like this (to my non trained eye). They are terrifying to find, but harmless generally. Leave very waxy webs.
If that’s the case, just start putting out some sticky traps in your home, wherever you find one just throw a trap down. Warmer years brings more of them
My vote goes for huntsman spider, and a male one at that, but I can’t say which species. Will have a quick lookup and see if I can narrow it down for you
It’s hard to say given I don’t have a clear list of Vietnam spiders but this is a Sparassidae, ( a huntsman), and as for family some possibilities are Sinopoda, Rhithymna, Pseudopoda, and Heteropoda.

If I saw it here in Florida I’d say a leggy Huntsman. It’s gorgeous!
That’s Jerry.
Also, a “what bug is this” post should include your location.
