Koh Chang Monkeys Cleared in Tourist Key Mix-Up

A group of foreign tourists on Koh Chang blamed monkeys for stealing a motorcycle key, prompting a police officer to help search the area for hours. After a four-hour effort, the missing key was reportedly found back at the tourists’ accommodation instead. The officer later said the visitors had been smoking cannabis and had simply forgotten where they left it. His retelling of the incident went viral, with many Thai social media users joking that the monkeys deserved an apology. What began as a small complaint ended up becoming a comic online moment at the tourists’ expense.
