Thomas KH Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Meanwhile, local primate specialists and conservationists have identified a window of opportunity here and are now frantically scouring the Thai Criminal Code for something/anything to legally bamboozle the Aussie. Dire times call for dire measures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess he was helping her with her homework while she was absent from school..............( and, no, I am not a fan of the spoilt little b****). Why because she has autism or because she is an advocate for science? The facts behind the picture of the family with Greta is that the family sailed across the Atlantic and Greta hitched a ride with them. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post proton Posted March 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2023 Got lots of monkeys near us in Bangkok living around a bridge, no Thais ever get out of their cars to interact with them, they feed them by chucking food from their cars. This whole thing looks like another faked for YT and Tik Tok, they are not that stupid.

You ever been to these places where they allow visitors to buy bananas to feed the monkeys? 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the same as with the monkey bite. Leave no stone unturned comes to mind. Phi Phi Don was developed last century as a cocoanut plantation and the monkeys were likely brought there for harvesting. Past tourists have also fed the them creating the problem today. With the number of people bitten at Monkey Beach on a daily basis perhaps TAT should not promote the place. The other five injections around the bite site were likely rabies immunoglobulin. Then a shot of rabies vaccine in the arm followed by another four spaced over time. Edited March 22, 2023 by LosLobo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 This is crazy. Monkeys attacking an infant would be very scary. They are powerful and can be vicious. Any kind of stick or bamboo staff scares the monkeys into submission. Perhaps they should provide bamboo on perilous beaches and at temples with monkeys? Or, would that simply be too proactive?

Popular Post xtrnuno41 Posted March 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2023 when they visited a beach notorious for monkey attacks in the Ko Phi Phi Islands. Of course then you go with your 1 year old son, to see. How dumb, I guess the guy was an influencer. Oh, he was (sarcastic) . Then all is explained, nice holiday movie to show, to put your son's life at danger on your web site. I have some terms to show what I think about the guy, but it will be deleted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
