June 7: Monkey Hill

 June 7:


My last day in Thailand I spent with three other girls I met and we went to the Giant Buddha and Monkey Hill. When arriving to Monkey Hill, there was a woman set up with bananas and corn to feed the monkeys- obviously a tourist trap, but I had to feed them. The monkeys were extremely comfortable with people and would come right up to me for food. Although I didn’t harm the monkeys in any way, I can see how easily it is for them to get harmed. First, we were located right by a parking lot and road. Next, if the monkeys got aggressive the woman working at the stand had a fake alligator toy to scare them and fight them off. Overall, this was an awesome experience.

Friends and I at the Giant Buddha!
