Big Prize - _TNY_7202
This small ant I saw on the island of Koh Lipe in southern Thailand is what I believe to be a longhorn crazy ant (Paratrechina longicornis). The "crazy" part comes from the erratic way they move and "longhorn" is obvious once you see the length of those antennae.
I don't know if the huge antennae help with this, but these guys can actually forage unusually far from the nest and this one was actually making quite good speed dragging whatever this is - my guess is that it's a piece of a crab.
