Beach Monkeys
Location: Railay - Thailand Date: 15 Feb 2008
The great thing about Thailand is you have a better chance of seeing exotic animals like monkeys and elephants in a urban setting than seeing them in the wild.
Monkey - Railay
Like most urban animals these monkeys have become accustomed to people and have picked up the bad habit of picking through human garbage.

Monkeys of Lopburi - Thaialnd
Location: Lopburi - Thailand Date: 2 Feb 2008
Lopburi is about 150 km north of Bangkok and it makes a good stop on the way to Chiang Mai. This small city has temple ruins strewn though the working streets of the town, which breaks up the drab new concrete buildings.
Lopburi is most famous for is resident monkeys (of the Crab-eating Macaque variety). The monkeys are fed by the locals and have since lost their fear of people, so they won't mind going after you aggressively if you offer them food.

Monkey Magic in Thailand
At the river ferry in Ayathaya, Thailand there is a great mural of the characters from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West.
Monkey Mural - Ayuthaya
I'm no scholar on Chinese literature but most Aussies, Kiwis and Brits my age will recognise the mural as the characters from Monkey, a TV show that was popular in the 80's.
The story is Chinese, made in Japan and dubbed into English by the BBC.
Here is a video of the start of the show, which gives you a taste of it's cult cheesy goodness.
