The area i mention where they are currently active in the water,jumping,swimming and scavenging is very close to the rocks in the initial video you sent.They can be seen there regularly,numbers of course will vary depending upon food availability.The locals feed them as well as the many tourists on...

However,100's on the road up to the temple,down to the restaurant,and up near the temple area. I noticed several large dogs within the area...

Rain is normally at its worse between July and November.

Great, thank you!

Thank you so much for your response. Yes, you're correct, they're crab-eating macaques. Can I ask how often you see them playing in the sea at this rocky area? When was the last time you saw them swimming in the sea there? From what you say, it doesn't sound like it's something you could witness ev...

It would also be great to get your guys input on the weather as I don't trust online weather websites anymore. Which months are hottest? And when does the monsoon season start?

Thank you!

These urban monkeys are certainly becoming a nuisance. Recently we came across a troop of them and they became very aggressive, they started screeching and baring their teeth and one of them leapt up and attacked my wife, luckily she sidestepped quickly, raised her arm, and narrowly avoided being s...

If you come to film you might like to visit: Royal Hua Hin Golf Course (Thailand's 1st course, classic 1924 design) Royal Hua Hin is the oldest 18-hole international standard course in Thailand and is only 5 minutes from downtown Hua Hin. The course was commissioned in 1924 to accommodate the inter...

I have seen the monkeys (Crab-eating Macqaque?) playing in the sea on a number of occasions. the footage in the youtube clip is quite spectacular, I have usually seen the youngsters splashing around ducking each other, and jumping from rock to rock at low tide. The adults pulling shellfish off the ...

Welcome to the forum and Hua Hin. Sadly the numbers of these animals in the locale is now making them a pest. It might be worth your while looking at how the authorities here are trying to deal with the problem. Also, a little further south is 'monkey island', off of Sam Roi Yod beach, also known a...

Thank you for the information and for sending the video - really useful!

That video was taken 5 or 6 years ago and I doubt whether you'll see such scenes there now. Because of the damage to boats and the problems with restaurants, they were moved some time ago to the other side of the mountain where they are kept in a limited area. Of course you still get the 'rogues' b...

The video,whenever shot is from very close to the standing Budha,at KT beach. If you drive up the hill towards the temple,and turn back on yourself go down where the popular thai seafood restaurant is,the view from the car park down below to the rocks and where the majority of monkeys sunbathe and ...

There is also Monkey Island within Kaeng Krachan National Park, where the monkeys will swim out to your boat. Also as you go down the hill towards the Chinese Temple at Khao Takiap, there's a water tank, which when full, the monkeys climb the big tree beside it and dive into the water tank - great ...
