Google lense is saying this is either a brown recluse, hunstman or wolf spider. I photographed this on spider in my home in Bogor, West Java Indonesia so safe to assume its not a brown recluse.

This is a male huntsman, looks like Olios we have in the states.
Species Olios giganteus – BugGuide.Net
Thanks for the reply. I did initially assume its a male considering it’s abdomen shape and size (roughly just over 2 inch leg span). How big do these spider gets and are they dangerous?
If this is Olios genus, the largest I have seen had a 2.5 Cm body with about 9 Cm legspan. Cover the palm of an adult hand size.
None of the Sparassidae family are dangerous at all. They are very reluctant to bite.
‘IF’ you could provoke a bite, its rang is nothing to a mild bee sting.
I have handled and played with numerous, and never bitten.
