Officials worried tourists could infect Hua Hin macaques with monkeypox

[simola]

You couldn't make it up. ????

[Hanuman2547]

I wonder where Mr. Wanchai is getting his information from?  Any verified research that concludes tourists could infect the macaques with the virus that causes monkey pox?  

[Alidiver]

Part of the government conditioning the Thai people that we are dirty and disease ridden.

It appears there is a hidden agenda to get rid of all foreigners.

Mmm it's called monkey pox bit of a deceptive name as its thought to have originated in rats. 

Not allowed tocall it monkey pox now, the WHO saysit's detrimental to Africa. Which, in itself is a racist decision on sooooo many levels.

The monkeys are on a par with the Soi dogs ,sterilizing doesn't Fix the problem ,Exterminating does.

He said the main concern is that local macaques may become infected with the disease from tourists visiting Hua Hin.

so now we are at blame..

I know Thailand does not attract the highest quality tourists. But even so, I do not believe a great deal of them would be getting sexually physical with the monkeys.

 

And i think the monkeys are capable of rejecting such advances.

Khun Wanchai Singto is an absolute disgrace to Thailand, wildlife conservation and the Thai people.

The photograph, showing how the wildlife conservation centre keeps macaques species-appropriate in a cage, explains it all.


The "dirty farang" bashing in full swing. Wanchai is forgiven for his faux-pax as he is, most likely,  infected with the "virus idioticus" which wipes out everything left (if there was ever anything to start with) in the patient's brain!

That is a good one. The joke of the day. Humans infecting monkeys with monkeypox. What is next? Cancer is contagious? Brain cells lost from kissing? Women getting pregnant from getting felt up? 

May be monkeys should wear mask ?

faux pas ?

ThE only ones coming in contact with the monkeys are Thai for sterilization and then shown on pic, they squeeze them all together in tiny boxes. So effect of eventually monkeypox is maximum. I wil never touch a monkey, dont trust them..

[StealthComms]

Lockdown immediately!

A government official? Well,  timing for a complete makeover of leadership could not be more evident

But it will take some time to understand.

Yes, it's the correct solution, but there's no money in that.

Thais could not possibly be carrying the pox... it has to be those filthy farang tourists again.

 

How long before we all have to get tested for Monkeypox before being allowed into Thailand?

 

Then there will be a Thai Monkey-Pass.

 

Then a Monkeypox vaccine for farangs.

[natway09]

More paranoid rubbish.

What they should do is try to reduce the rat problem in metro areas where there are large 

monkey populations half of which should be culled like the dogs, but better not to start me on that one again

I saw no mention of foreigners in the article, only tourists. Don't give yourself too much importance.

 

I went to check out the monkeys in Hua Hin the other day and there were only Thais there.

part of the mass sterilization campaign of up to 600 macaques

If they can do it for macaques why not soi dogs?

[cncltd1973]

good lord, look at all those monkeys in that little cage. that is also definitely wrong! the Director needs to be educated on how to cage monkeys at the very least! oh, and monkeypox.

Ah, but were they local Thais or Thai tourists?  Not that any Thai or Thai tourist would ever be carrying the dreaded Monkeypox.

[Reposed]

List of things I have never considered trying:

 

1) Attempting sex with a monkey;

 

2) in public

^{???????? ???? ????????????????????}

Tell the tourists not to share a joint, this should slow infection spreading 

[FunkyDunky58]

Here we go again. Dirty Farang going around infecting everything. Isn't it enough that the Govt has convinced most Thais that we are all walking infestations of Covid?
