PHUKET: A monkey who munched on the arm of a tourist at a Phuket City landmark viewpoint today has become a regular biter and needs to be removed, according to residents.
A British tourist named Martin became the latest victim of the macaque at Khao Toh-Sae Viewpoint. The hill is one of two that provide excellent views over Phuket City.
The bite was quite deep and the bleeding was difficult to stop, according to paramedics who staunched the blood and bandaged the wound.
While there is no rabies on Phuket and no cases have been reported for over a decade, Martin will require a course of injections, just in case.
He was giving food to the monkeys when the bad monkey bit him, the paramedics were told.

Today at a view point, I have a photo of a monkey drinking from a can of Leo. Maybe, the monkeys get drunk like many tourists do in Patong and want a fight... just a guess.
