Dusky Leaf Monkeys

On our way to Ao Manao beach today we took a detour to see the Dusky Leaf Monkeys. What a joy! The  Dusky Leaf Monkey,  also known as the  Spectacled Langur , can be found in forests within Thailand, Malaysia and Myanmar. They are distinguished by dark grey fur, a long tail, and white, glasses-like rings around their eyes. These endangered, shy, and peaceful monkeys live in small groups and are known for being born with bright orange fur that darkens over time.   These are so friendly and totally unlike the thieving monkeys in Sri Lanka, Bali and other parts of Asia. No need to ensure all your belongings are in your bag! When offered food, they politely take from your hand, and don't snatch.  Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Prachuap Khiri Khan.  There is no charge to get into the Historical Park. You just have to leave a passport at the army check point before entering.  ...
