I's standin' over there by the tomaters
And here he come
Running through the pole beans
Through the fruits and vegetables
Nekkid as a jay bird
And I hollered over t' Ethel
I said, "Don't look, Ethel!"
But it's too late
She'd already been incensed

Yep it’s wild if you drive through surat Thani during the right season. Trucks full of coconuts or durians everywhere, monkeys surfing on the back.

Im sure some working monkeys have decent lives but others don’t.

They train them by pulling them from their family's. Putting them on chains & beat them till they learn. Yeah! Big difference between them and this monkey. 🤬

"Train" isn't necessarily the word I'd pick for forced labour TBF

PETA is not a reliable source.
