Large spider, not sure if some or all of the white markings are from plaster/paint as the room was being decorated.
Found inside the house, in rural area in hills just outside Bandung, Java, Indonesia
The only modifications made to the picture was to crop them so that the spider was clearer... 'cos I was just a bit scared to get my hands in too close.

done some real close ups on some other photos I have of it and the white is globules of paint attached to the hairs... so this spider doesn't have the white markings naturally, it has in fact been accidentally decorated :D
could it be some variety of Huntsman?
also, its gait as it ran away was a run and a jump- quite comical to watch, as it neither ran nor jumped but did a bit of both.
