It seems the authorities have trained one monkey to act as the get away driver, as seen in the photo

It does look like they are working as a team, yes. But what is the moral of the story?

[Deserted]

The driver doesn't look too impressed in the pics.

Your quite the optimist, although the current generation or 2 will out live most of us.

That only works if you achieve 100% neutering, and then stop monkeys from other areas coming in..

Not really an optimist when it comes to Thai authorities getting things done. So pretty sure the monkeys will still be around when most of us are gone. Not the current generation, but their offspring.

They need to be severely culled and the public banned from feeding them.
