Thank you forestdragon. They do look a bit like these on the website but am not sure. Anyone else sure? What kind?

They look like immature assassin bugs of some sort. It can be difficult to identify them when they are not full grown, depending on the species. It's normal for them to all hatch at the same time and hang out together for a bit before they go off on their own to hunt and grow up. http://www.thaibugs.com/?page_id=456
