A taste for the high life leaves this Phuket denizen looking for new premises

Phuket Monkey Seeks High Life, Now Swings from Trees

Wednesday, July 23, 2014
PHUKET: A Phuket monkey with a taste for the high-class surrounds of Royal Phuket Marina had to learn the hard way that if you can't pay the rent, invading an office is an occupational hazard. So the Kusoldharm Foundation created an amateur's straightjacket and carted the ambitious creature off to the jungle near Bang Pae waterfall, where rents are lower and the neighbors less particular.

Let's hope a few homo sapiens who have an illegal taste for the high life get carted off & relocated in like manner.

This monkey bears a strong resemblance to a few doomsday naysayer expats (with a perpetual grim outlook ) I have encountered in Phuket, but the expat lacks the ironic-mischievous cake-hole grin that the simian sports..Oh what I wouldn't do..I'd do anything for you..

Many of us could do well to emulate the monkey's excellent attitude in the face of adversity. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger..so smile, darn ya, smile..
