Briggsy Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Do not antagonise macaques, particularly those familiar with humans. You will be bitten. I would also point out Khao Sam Mook is in Bang Saen and nowhere near Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf99 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Every time humans interact with animals here they are in danger. I can only think of 3 that get regularly reported in the news. Monkeys, Elephants and Soi Dogs. All dangerous and bad news for tourists and TAT. Apparently, about 30 people die every year in LoS from snake bites, where as in India it is 46,000 a year!!! Is LoS smudging the real figure to avoid bad publicity ? https://www.thailandsnakes.com/how-many-deaths-thailand-per-year-venomous-snakebite/ Strangely in LoS, non venomous Pythons, get "rescued" and measured all the time and then moved !

katana Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Monkeys can be aggressive when provoked. Reminds me of this video from a couple of years ago when a Thai youth threw his shoe at a monkey peeing on his bike: Edited November 23, 2017 by katana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
