This show is a lot of fun and a favourite with
the children.
Previously these monkeys worked as coconut pickers,
which they can do very quickly by biting through
the stem that holds the nut to the tree with their
extremely sharp teeth.
The show lets you see the skills of both the monkeys
and their trainers.
The performance of adding and subtracting is
really amazing and never fails to delight the
children in the audience. Different monkeys do
different tricks, including diving for coins!
We use short-tailed macaque monkeys for this
show. They are still a kind of common wild animal
in Thailand.
