Crazy Monkeys in Thailand

One of the main attractions in Hua Hin, Thailand is Monkey Mountain located in Khao Takiabe Hill. Hundreds of monkeys call this mountain or “hill” their home. A popular tourist destination, many visitors come to see the temple and play with the monkeys.

There are several vendors on the mountain the sell bananas, corn and peanuts to give to the monkeys. However, they are not very patient as they quickly storm and climb any tourist that buys a bucket of goodies. Adam, who owns a popular travel blog, attempts to feed a couple of monkeys when about a hundred of them swarm down and grab the bucket of chopped up bananas. Adam nearly becomes a human pinata as the monkeys attack and knock the bucket out of his hands spilling treats everywhere.
