The fire ant, a nasty agressive insect causing serious painful bites, migrated from South America to the US before the Second World war. Later on it infested Australia. In the last few years the fire ant has also been found in China, Taiwan and the Phillipines.
A friend of mine in Thailand shows a serious allergy to ant bites, which strongly resembles a fire ant allergy. Is there any evidence that fire ants occur in Thailand (specifically the Southern peninsula) ?

Thanks in advance for your input
