Macaque Optician

Whilst in Thailand we visited "Monkey Hill", on the outskirts of Phuket and popular for its families of wild Macaque monkey's that live there scavenging and pillaging from locals and tourists that visit. The monkey's are very inquisitive and extremely confident of humans but certain individuals could be very aggressive and protective if thought to be under threat. This chap decided to jump on my back and do a little preening of my head and ears before grabbing my glasses and doing a runner, thankfully after a little chasing and gentle persuasion we traded them back for a shiny pen, a trip to the opticians then on the cards for a repair job.
