Phapuri Province is located in central Thailand. In the past, monkeys in the Laocheng District lived together with humans, which was a major feature of the local area. However, due to human feeding and other reasons, the number of monkeys grew rapidly.

General reporter Yang Tanli: According to statistics, there are now more than 2,000 monkeys in the Laocheng District of Huafuli. Due to the large number of monkeys in Laocheng District, conflicts often occur between different monkey groups, and conflicts often occur in the middle of the main road, causing traffic accidents. At the suggestion of local people, we put on helmets, gloves and umbrellas, because monkey biting incidents often occur here.

Shop owners in local Laocheng District: The number of monkeys is increasing, and there are more and more troubles. The most serious thing is causing motorcycles to overturn.

General reporter Yang Tanli: There is an abandoned building here. Can you imagine that this was once one of the most popular shopping malls in the area, but now it has also become the home of monkeys?

Currently, local governments and animal protection agencies are trying to control the number of monkeys by neutering them.

Su Tipong, a staff member of the National Wildlife Conservation Administration of Thailand: We have sterilized 80% of the monkeys in the accident-prone area of Laocheng District of Hafuri. The city government is currently building a monkey garden to house these monkeys.

In addition, the National Wildlife Conservation Administration of Thailand has also launched a compensation plan to provide residents with compensation of 30,000 to 100,000 baht (about 6000 yuan to 20000 yuan) for damage caused by monkeys.

General reporter Yang Tanli: During the interview, according to our observation, residents of Huafuri will only symbolically drive away monkeys when attacked, and will not really harm the monkeys. A resident told us that monkeys have been in Huafuli longer than many people and there is no reason to drive them away. The local government has also set up special feeding points and drinking points for monkeys, and residents will often help feed them. There is even a Monkey Festival to prepare a sumptuous meal for monkeys. But it is precisely because monkeys have no natural enemies and food pressure that the reproduction rate becomes very fast. The local government is also stepping up the construction of a special monkey protection base so that residents and monkey groups can have their own living space.
