ID a spider I saw a few months ago

[alessia55]

Posting on other spider sites has been inconclusive. I figured I might as well as you guys. This is a spider I saw in Hoi An, Vietnam. I have figured out that it's an argiope or something similar, but I'd be interested in a better ID. Some of you spider fanatics should love this one.

Or at least something that would creep me out and make me stay away from. LOL Some sort of orb spider...

Yes, it's a zig zag pattern that's like a signature move of the angriope as I've learned... someone has pointed out that it's most likely a female angriope aurantia.
