snoop1130 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 A macaque monkey, known locally as “Jao Jo,” snuck into the kitchen of a ramen restaurant in Jomtien and grabbed a piece of corn before escaping onto a power line. Jao Jo has become notorious in the Jomtien area for his thieving habits. Some locals have even given him a title, “Jao Jo, the Jomtien Menace,” after he repeatedly stole food and goods from locals and tourists. He often climbed up a power pole after committing his fearless thievery to eat his stolen snacks in peace and out of human reach. On April 10th, 2024, The Pattaya News reporters visited the ramen restaurant, “Street Ramen,” located on Jomtien Road opposite the D Varee Jomtien Hotel in Banglamung district, Chonburi province. This restaurant is a regular target of Jao Jo’s thieving antics, said Mr. Thepporn Suttirattanaphirak, the Food and Beverage Manager at Street Ramen.

JensenZ Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It's a wild animal doing what wild animals do - get food when and from wherever they can. The only way to solve the problem is to capture and relocate it. If it was near my restaurant, I'd start feeding it regularly as it would be a crowd-pleaser for tourists. They feed soi dogs here daily, but begrudge one ape a decent meal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
