Thanks Steven,,he was pondering what it was he could eat next..lol..~!

Thankyou Steven.. I was going to call this pensive..but I knew what he was up too..! He was sitting on my foot and he stayed there for ages..I froze..lol..

Thankyou Matt. Glad you like it..it was a little bit of an adventure..lol..first time I had seen monkeys swim at least.

Thankyou so much Hilary~! Appreciate your endless support and uplifting comments :))

Thankyou Greta..yes….its like you know when you are so close to something that if you breathed it would displace it or annoy it..well it was like that..my hands and forearms were flat up against my chest..sneaking up to take the shot.. At one point he was sitting directly behind me leaning on my back..that was a little too close for comfort..he must have thought i was a tree..or something..lol. I have a scar on my right ring finger from a monkey bite when I was two. Its a permanent scar circumnavigating the top of my finger with a permanent crack in the fingernail. i dont remember the bite..but I know they can..and of course unfortunately..there is rabies around too.

Thankyou Buddy~! :D

Thanks Gareth~! They arent too afraid are they?

Brian, Thankyou~! :D

Thanks Jane..I can direct you where to take the tour..on kayaks for about five hours through jungles, leeches, torrential rain. humidity, flies, wildlife..its all good_{! Was a fantastic experience}!

Thankyou Mil_{! Love the new avatar by the way}!

Jane. you will love it. There is an elephant school near lampung which is like a volunteer centre. Its up north but below Chiang Mai. The monkeys that I experienced were down south but they are everywhere over there..no shortage of them at all. But if you want these particular ones..then I can assist!

Hi lareejc. He didnt try and touch my camera funny enough. He was only after food. Funny though all the monkeys I encountered usually only wanted food. They didnt approach me like this one. But then again, he had swum over to the canoe..so I guess sitting on it was like sitting on a tree branch. I took some other photos of mother and baby and only one like this of this one.

Antanas~ Thankyou and thankyou for the favourite! Much appreciated :D

Thankyou JayVee. So sorry to hear you got bitten..rabies and all..injection after injection to make sure youre ok..infection…oh dear. You must have come out the other side ok..though which is comforting..but yeah NOT a good experience by any means..they are wild and will scavenge for anything..you were unlucky.

Thankyou Ken :D

Thankyou so much Julie, Glad you like it. I sat on it for ages and it wasnt until you featured my other image that i thought it should go up. Interesting story to it too i suppose. Thanks again. x

wow..that is so cool that he did the same tour~! I hope he will put his pics up ? It was amazing..intimidating etc but all the same the interaction was great :) Thanks for the comment :D

Thanks Kathryn ~! It is amazing..to see them in thier own habitat. Alot of these monkeys hang around temples and where tourists gather so you dont see what they do in the wild much. Watching these swim..was a amazing enough in itself.

Thankyou Wanda~! Great compliment. :D

Wow..thanks Bianca_{! Thankyou for the favouriting too}!!! Love your grizzly bear too!
