‘This is how Planet of the Apes starts’ — As coronavirus slams Thailand tourism, monkeys brawl in the streets

Shawn Langlois

There were bound to be plenty of unpredictable consequences as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, but a gang war between rival packs of monkeys in the streets of Thailand? Sasaluk Rattanachai, a local shopkeeper who was credited by the Daily Mail for capturing the footage, claimed that this is the first time she's ever seen such a clash between the temple monkeys and the city monkeys, two different groups separated by a train track. Of course, you'll recall that the original novel of THE PLANET OF THE APES begins with a pandemic virus.

“I think the monkeys were very, very hungry. There’s normally a lot of tourists here to feed the monkeys but now there are not as many, because of the coronavirus,” she said. “They went crazy for a single piece of food. I’ve never seen them this aggressive.”

If they'll provide a few cases of green bananas and a thousand rounds of buckshot, I know a guy who could be contracted to resolve that conflict.

There was a small part in a documentary about these exact monkeys. They are protected living on the temple grounds and as soon as night comes they pack the streets every night getting food from the tourists and locals.

“Lop Buri is home to thousands of monkeys. Each has to swear allegiance to one of two gangs — temple monkeys and city monkeys.”

Choose your gang - like Costco.

But don’t screw with the monkeys. We used to drink “Cubi nukes” and bet on the monkeys success at stealing grocery bags from folks leaving the commissary in the P.I.
Whatever you threw at them came back twice as accurately and twice as hard.

First thing you hear once you cross the bridge over shit river which seperates the Subic Bay Naval Base and Olongapo Cith Phillipines is............monkey meat, got monkey meat. They cook right there on the street, you eat it off a stick, it's delicious.

Or the Balut vendors Previously discussed in another thread.

But first you had to throw Pesos into the shit river to the Bonka boat boys off the bridge. I was well past you 100 missions over the shit River patch. Marmot was the first big club across the River and the hooks would all cheer your River crossing

I wouldn't want to be standing around when those starving monkeys realize that humans are a source of food.

Remember when that chick had her face eaten by that chimp a few years ago? At the time I remember reading an article saying that when chimps attack, they target three areas: the face, the hands, and the genitals.


Just a heads up in case anyone is thinking of challenging any simians to fisticuffs.

Imagine all the crap on the street. Talk about land mines. Those scooters better have fenders.
