I’m from Australia, that looks like a huntsman.

When I first moved here and saw one I freaked out and begged my husband to catch it. He laughed and said they are good spiders, and very fast so hard to catch anyway.

That spider lived above the window blinds, and I realised I would have to sweep the dead bugs off the windowsill every few days.

He definitely became an honoured guest!

If I saw it here in Florida I’d say a leggy Huntsman. It’s gorgeous!

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.
