Foreigner in Pattaya Allegedly Forces Monkey to Drink and Smoke

A foreign man in Pattaya has sparked outrage after a video emerged showing him allegedly abusing a monkey by forcing it to drink alcohol and smoke a cigarette. The video, widely circulated online, captures an argument between foreigners, one of whom swings a small monkey and attempts to stuff it into his shorts pocket. Concerns have been raised over the animal's well-being due to the man's rough handling.

The situation gained attention when a Pattaya local, claiming to work at a bar nearby, reported witnessing the foreign man and his companion forcing the monkey to smoke an e-cigarette and consume alcohol. When confronted, the man reportedly insisted that the monkey was his pet, claiming rights over it. Another resident mentioned encountering the same man, who similarly identified the monkey as his pet.

The incident has led to public indignation, with calls for police and government intervention to rescue the monkey. Sathit Pratchaya-ariyakun, director of the Thai Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, stated that the monkey, believed to be a pig-tailed macaque, is protected wildlife. He emphasized that keeping such an animal without permission is illegal and the actions seen in the video constitute clear abuse.

Despite the public outcry, local authorities have yet to locate the foreign man or take any official action regarding the incident.

Hunt the POS down, take the monkey away from him, give it to the TSPCA and then find out if it's also against the law to have possession of one of that species.
With that build, the haircut, the chain, and his penchant for going shirtless, it shouldn't be too hard to find him.

And charge him with having an e-cigarette, providing alcohol to a minor, animal cruelty, being a stain on society. Anything. Just remove him.

F-rangs like that make us regular f-rangs look decent by comparison.

Kind of like if you're fat, you welcome to hang out with a fatter friend.

Ok, it hasn't been said yet:

everybody's got something to hide, 'cept for him and his . . . ♫

C'mon, why do you think a monkey can't have himself a good time? What have you got against him?

Another form of animal cruelty, drugged Tigers, so silly foreigners can have their photo taken.

I guess they were all out of cute puppies to attract the ladies attention.

Sounds like good idea shoving angry monkey in your pocket next to your man parts. That would be some well deserved instant Karma when the monkey attacks your man parts.

I don´t know what you are trying to achieve? Have you heard anything about me? Have you read about me in the news? Do you know anything about me?

You know, the answer is no! you are just making a one liner to get popularity scores. Something that children and teenagers do among friends. I guess you are still at that stage.

It never seems to amaze me that I can take an instant dislike to someone over just one little post.
