PHUKET: Local residents yesterday made their opinion clear for wildlife officials to take steps to control the number of the wild monkeys living on Toh Sae Hill in the heart of Phuket Town, but asked to let the monkeys stay there.

 

The public-feedback meeting yesterday (May 25) was held at the Chalerm Sammanakit Hall at Wat Charoen Samanakit (Wat Lang San), located behind Phuket Provincial Court, in Phuket Town.

 

A total of 63 local residents attended, a senior official at the Phuket Provincial Environment Office confirmed to The Phuket News.

And money wins again:

Taxi drivers take tourists there (few hundred baht)

Locals sell bananas so the tourists can feed the monkeys (40 baht)

Locals sell drinks and snacks to the tourists (120 baht)

The hospital gets rich on the immune globulin after a bite
