Suang Puangsri, 38, meditates in his home in Uttaradit province, 600 km (373 miles) north of Bangkok September 4, 2009. Suang has adapted his house to live with his unusual pets, about 4,600 scorpions, as part of his atonement after serving the creepy crawlies on the menu for the past decade. Scorpions and other insects like locusts and grasshoppers are a popular snack in Thailand. Picture taken September 4, 2009. [Agencies]
