Residents of navy housing at the Sattahip Naval Base were subjected
to some monkey business when a gang of about 50 hungry simians came down
from nearby hills to look for food.
Monkeys stole food and tossed garbage cans around housing for the Workshop
Department July 28. The animals even got inside some houses and ransacked
them.
Reporters witnessed some of the suspects, a few even pregnant or with small
monkeys clinging tightly. The food they found outside wasn’t very
appetizing, so monkeys went indoors where residents had to be sure to lock
foodstuffs away.
One navy wife said the monkeys often come down from Laem Poo Chao Mountain.
Some residents have felt sorry for them, leaving out food, but that only
encourages them to come back, she said.
