Jamahkiri
has received praise from the Worlwide Fund For Nature
as a recognized sanctuary for mis-treated monkeys.
Rescuing
these beautiful creatures from various markets and other
places around Thailand, owner Lucas has created a new
home for over 20 monkeys.
In their
new habitat they are nursed back to health and can learn
once again to trust human contact!
Regularly
monitored by Koh Tao's resident vet, the monkeys are
taken as far as possible in their rehabilitation before
being referred to larger oranizations.
Each monkey
has it's own character and often you can sit beside
one in our bar area and these playful creatures can
give you an excellent photo opportunity.
Feel free to have a chat with Lucas or his son Nicolas.
They are passionate about their work with the monkeys,
and can even help you learn a thing or two!
