PHUKET: Officials from the Patong Municipal Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation failed in their attempt to lure and catch a wild macaque that was found sitting on a resort roof on Soi Nanai in Patong this morning.

 

An official from the Patong Municipal Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, who declined to be named, told The Phuket News today (Apr 17), “I received a call at 9:45am by some residents who had found a macaque sitting on the roof of the Baan Lukkan Patong Resort on Soi Nanai in Patong so I sent a veterinary team from Patong Municipality to the scene.

 

“We wanted to lure and capture the macaque so that it could be taken back to the wild so the team prepared an anaesthetic,” the official said.
