Thailand is known for its pristine beaches--the country is simplt full of natural wonders where travelers can enjoy the beauty of nature. But there's one beach in Thailand where you wouldn't only enjoy the view but you'll also enjoy the company of a few friends--monkeys.
Monkey Beach, as what most people call it, is located on the island of Ko Phi Phi Don. According to Metro, this beautiful beach has gorgeous white sand and crystal clear waters but it's the friendly monkeys that seem to attract tourists to visit.
The monkeys just roam around freely at the beach and they would come up to people who want to play with them. These amazing creatures don't shy away from the spotlight which is why a lot of tourists really want that perfect shot of having the monkeys beside them while the beautiful beach is in the background.
According to Lonely Planet, Ko Phi-Phi Don is well-known for its beaches and jungles which perfectly explains what happens in Monkey Beach. The monkeys live in the mountains but they come down to the beach in search of food like fruits, seeds, and other edible things.
Having figured out that tourists also leave their snacks at the beach sometimes, it's more reason for the monkeys to spend more time down there. They're now comfortable having people around and they would even go into your bags if you're not mindful of your belongings.
There are other things to do in Monkey Beach like snorkeling, watching marine life, and enjoying the picturesque view of the beach. Not to mention, the island of Ko Phi Phi Don is also a nice place to enjoy numerous restaurants and resorts. You'll be able to experience the rich culture of Thailand in this wonderful place.
