Phuket wildlife officials install monkey warning signs around Mudong canal

 

The advisory is displayed in four different languages: Thai, English, Chinese and Russian.
 

PHUKET: Wildlife officials in Phuket have installed signs near Klong Mudong canal in Chalong/Wichit to advise people against feeding monkeys in the area in order to avoid being bitten or contracting diseases.
 

Pongchart Chuahom, Director of the Khao Phra Thaeo Wildlife Sanctuary in Thalang, led a team to the canal on Thursday (June 27) to inspect the new signs, along with Chanwit Sudjadet, Director of Wichit’s Public Health and Environment Division, and local village head, Manas Samad.

 

Mr Pongchart told The Phuket News that there are currently seven key areas where the macaques and southern pig-tailed macaques are found in Phuket: Khao Rang Hill, Khao To Sae (Monkey Hill), Soi Thachean, King Kaew Soi 9, Koh Siray, Bang Rong Pier and Yamu Village.
