RE: The Thieving Apes of Monkey Beach, Thailand.
Great story man. I went to that beach about ten years ago. Not sure if they still do but they give you the chance to buy some cooked corn to feed them with. I bought a bag and the monkeys pulled the same shit but they used a decoy strategy. One of them snuck up behind me and grabbed my calf with it's little furry hands. I still remember how creepy it felt. When I looked down another one hopped up in front of me and stole the corn. Being young and dumb, I thought "I paid for that!", and tried to get it back. The monkeys stopped what they were doing, bared their teeth and growled at me. Fierce little bastards.
was 10 years ago the last time you've been to Thailand, period? I don't remember cooked corn being sold but it's possible. Those monkeys are smart little bastards and just because they're small and cute don't mean a thing because kinda like you said, if you try to go after them, they'll group up and ferociously snarl at you. I'm sure they can do some damage if they wanted.
Well actually it wasn't quite ten years ago. Maybe 8? But yeah that was the first and only time I've gone. It's probably changed a lot since then. Yeah those monkeys scared the shit out of me to be honest haha. Crafty and they got sharp teeth.
We'll get the whole crew and go back and live it up. I guess you can add that to the list of things you're holding me to haha
