Great possibilities for the monkey food sellers: sell some bananas, a quick call to the BIB friend and a 1000 baht fine for the monkey-feeding tourist split 50/50. More lucrative than simply selling fruit!

“I want tourists to interact with monkeys in the right way,” Gov Norraphat said.

What is the right way to interact with monkeys? I think it would be better to advise people to stay away from them. They can be very dangerous.
