‘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.”

It would take a whole lot of tourists to feed that many monkeys.

Looks like a madhouse.

A maaaadhoooooouuuuse.

Or wait, maybe I misunderstood. Are the locals feeding the monkeys with tourists? If so, it would take fewer tourists to feed the monkeys. Maybe ten a day or so.

I’d like to have seen them take down one of them scooter riding sob’s. Hell just listening to it would be hysterically funny .

Harry Belafonte's concert in Bangkok next week could get ugly.

And you wonder how and why pandemics happen.

Dirty, filthy monkeys. Stupid humans - quit feeding them! Quit eating them!

Well, they will not be throwing their poop. If they have to eat it

You know, considering what Thailand is usually known for, stories about roving gangs of vicious monkeys can only improve their image.

Someone should show those sonnabitches what's for desert on Indiana Jones......
