Escape to Monkey Mountain

 There's a small beach at the end of the main road in Hua Hin.  A staircase, looking like it comes right out of the sand, leads up the hill toward a Buddhist temple.  Somewhere in between the beach and the temple is a small tourist area with a shop and a few market-like stands selling cold drinks, ice cream, etc.  Perfect place to run into a bunch of monkeys.

In English, it's referred to as Monkey Mountain

The one who stole the apple core.

Kevin had been saying he wanted a monkey to sit on his shoulder in Thailand.  I don't know if he would have said that knowing that it was totally possible.  We got part way up "monkey mountain" and a monkey ran over to take the apple core out of his hand.  There were monkeys ALL OVER.



                 

It took Kevin a minute to agree to buying a small bucket of fruit from a strange Thai lady, but he did.   It was INTENSE!

Too tired to hold its head up...

 I just couldn't stop taking pictures! 
  The babies were the cutest.

 

Thief!

 These monkeys are obviously used to people, so we'll have to take a real trek through real Thai mountains and find some animals in a more natural setting.  But this was still pretty fun.
