Best to be avoided, as they've taken over, and take 'aggressive' to a whole new level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesetat Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Seems quite funny when thinking about it.. The people gangs are unable to do anything because the monkey gangs are protected. They blame the way monkeys are fed there leading to monkey gang war. So basically they blame the tourists.. a few months ago the locals were complaining the monkeys were stealing food from their shops. So it can not be how the locals are feeding them. Seems they should make an island and give it to the monkeys.. Let them fight it out on a deserted island. Protected species or not, they are a danger to the people and the city and to tourism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is real terrible, where the monkeys come, I don't come anymore, now on the hill in Hua-hin, on the hill in Phetchaburi, Hua-hin Takiab, after the street dogs this is the next annoyance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if locals wish to encourage them by feeding or having food available for them to steal then Som nam na. No food the monkeys will go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunglasses easy prey along with ladies purses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
