A Rambling Writer Rerun: Thailand, part 15: Swimming with Monkeys
Join Thor and me as we get in the swim with playful monkeys at Our Jungle House, as your virtual Thailand vacation continues.
NOTE: Due to health issues, Thor and I haven’t been able to do much travel the past few years, so here’s our Thailand trip from 2020. We were lucky to squeak through the pandemic flight closures that February of 2020 as we returned from our three-week trip. Now crazy times just keep getting crazier. So escape for a few minutes from our new American dystopia to a country as beautiful and colorful as a dream! I’ll interrupt the reruns with occasional book reviews or Geezer Adventures…. (This blog series began 3/15/2025.)
On our last afternoon at our delightful treehouse, we had returned from a sweaty hike in the Khao Sok wilderness park and were ready for another cooling swim in the river that ran past Our Jungle House eco-lodge. Throwing on our suits, we headed for the river bank and the towering limestone cliff where the long-tailed macaques often sheltered in hollow niches.
We had seen some individuals climbing and munching on bamboo right beside our high deck, and made sure to keep our windows secured against the light-fingered rascals.
