You either buy a LOT of bananas or you wait until the next punter shows up with their bunch to start feeding them and make your escape. Do you think the monkeys ever get sick of eating bananas? I know i sure get tired of eating rice ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would run down grab any bags and immediately head back up the cliffs out of reach. I would guess some thai guys would climb the cliffs later and score a lot of stuff as the monkeys were obviously more interested in food than personal items or $$....no doubt a big pain in axx for the tourists if your passport/$$ /credit cards were in bag. Yes, that was the problem the monkeys went through their bags which contained their passports and credit cards I've seen the video on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Some of these monkeys were relocated from habitats on Phuket when they had over bred and started being a nuisance to tourists. Instead of culling, authorities moved groups to a couple of small islands where they had to learn to survive in a new environment. I believe they were feeding them, at least initially. This could explain their behavior towards visitors. Edited March 22, 2023 by Old Croc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealthychef Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 These monkeys are super aggressive, I can attest to that. Something I did set off one of them and he got very aggressive and chased me off. Only reason I didn't fight him was I didn't want to be the guy caught in a video fighting a monkey. ???? But they are very aggressive and I advise people to stay away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 My wife is from Lopburi, so I have a lot of experience with monkeys. Once i got in a serious fight with one, over some durian, they can be nasty buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But mountain temple in Prachuap Khirikan is also not that nice, especially the parking place they made for it with a fountain. No one parks there, it is a domain for the monkeys playing in the fountain. But Lopburi is indeed quite horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackGats Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I've seen monkeys stealing all kinds of things, even smartphones, from people. I carefully stow my hearing aids away when in sight of monkeys. All animals (and humans!) who live from hand-outs become noxious after a while.

Monkeys not always present, they live in the jungle. And then come to the beach if they know people are there. I have experienced the same problem. Parked myself up on a nice part of the beach. The paddled out for a surf. While floating on my board noticed a pack of monkeys arrive on the beach out of the jungle and grabbing my stuff (but I had roped my backpack to a big log on the beach).
