We got back from a Thailand vacation recently, and i have just started to dig some pics out of the batch.

Got a couple fair shots of monkeys on an uninhabited beach, what do you think? I can take honest and blunt... so have at it. Our tour guide feeds them pepsi a few times a week, so they freak out when they see him.

Love the 2nd shot really nice image.

Can't say I'm too keen on the 1st shot, mainly because it doesn't seem right giving them fizzy drinks.

Thanks for the comment. I have many of the up-close-and-personal face shots as in the second, but wanted to throw a little weird culture in there too.

Dont worry, monkeys can burp... so they wont explode.

Second shot is wonderful! I have friends who have been to Costa Rica a few times...and they were terrified of the monkees.guess if you start to feed them, and then stop.they tend to get PO'D!


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

You've clearly never seen a monkey farting carbonated drinks. It is a sad sight to behold. ;)

I like the second one for the Nature approach to it, though the first one has the human touch to it (and Pepsi is mispelled in the bottle :) ).

Really good pics, and looks like a great place to hang out. Thanks for sharing,
