Orphan macaque seeks foster parent
I watched an infant long-tailed macaque in Don Chao Poo Forest recently behaving in a way that I had not seen before. When you look at the first few photos I took you may not notice anything strange. I didn’t. … Continue reading
Distressed long-tailed macaque female in Don Chao Poo Forest, Phana
I was witness to a distressing scene in the forest a few days ago. I came across this group of monkeys which I took to be a family group. The adult female grooming a younger monkey had only just arrived, … Continue reading
More of the Thai Monkey Forest Fauna
Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) are the most obvious inhabitants of Don Chao Poo Forest in Phana, but they are not the only ones. Two other species which generally make themselves scarce when people are around, can be seen by someone … Continue reading

Ten days ago I saw a monkey carrying two young infants. The infants looked to be the same age but I had never seen twins in the forest here before. I know that sometimes a female will foster an orphaned … Continue reading

Birth of the Macaque Project (2)
Phana is sometimes known as ‘Monkey Town’. I am not sure that the people of Phana really like that, but I notice that there is a large, framed collage of photos labelled MONKEY TOWN just outside the Mayor’s office at … Continue reading
Birth of the Macaque Project (1)
The Phana Macaque Project came about largely because of a few blogs I wrote earlier this year on Life in Phana (www.phanathailife.typepad.com). I had been in and out of the monkey forest, Don Chao Poo, on a daily basis and … Continue reading
The Monkey Forest: a community space
The monkey forest (Don Chao Poo) is frequently used by the community of Phana for ceremonial and celebratory occasions. The Phana Municipality (Tetsaban Phana) is responsible for the forest and it is the tetsaban which organizes events there. Sometimes the … Continue reading
