Monkey madness: Thai man’s roadside pee leads to wild monkey attack

[webfact]

 

A Thai man faced the terrifying ordeal of being attacked by a gang of more than 10 monkeys after he decided to have a pee on the roadside in the southern province of Ranong.

 

The unsuspecting victim tried to fight back, but fate had other plans, as he stumbled and fell down a steep 50-metre cliff. It was a wild and chaotic scene, witnessed by a motorist who rushed to report the monkey attack to Nasak Police Station.

 

The police, realizing the severity of the situation, called in a rescue team to retrieve the injured man from the bottom of the treacherous cliff. The victim, 44 year old Manee Chitdutsadee, is nursing severe wounds from the fall and aggressive macaque assault in a nearby hospital.

 

According to the rescuer, Pithak Jaidee, who spoke to ThaiRath, Manee was in dire condition but still able to recount the shocking incident to the rescue team. He revealed that Manee had been using this route daily for his work commute without any prior monkey troubles. It was just an ordinary day when nature’s call led him to a dangerous encounter with the mischievous monkeys.

As Manee relieved himself on the roadside, he was taken by surprise when a pig-tailed macaque appeared out of nowhere and attacked him.

He was "marking" their territory by peeing just like all animals in the wild do. Not shocking at all that they responded by attacking him.

Was it 10 monkeys or just one which attacked him?

In Thailand ? 

 

At least 10, I would have thought...

Well, what did he expect? You can’t just expose yourself in front of the missus and the kids and then take a leak in their front yard like that and expect no retaliation! ????

 

But all kidding aside, these monkey attacks are nasty because of their ginormous fangs!

Thailand is one of very few places where men pull their vehicles to the side of the road and just go with cars passing. Very backwards. Monkeys find it offensive. That’s progress.
