Last week there was a story that some of the monkeys that hang out by Independence Hotel road have gone missing (Missing Monkey!) and an investigation would be carried out.
Today there’s been a signed prakas (or whatever) to say all the monkeys will be moved to a forest as they cause traffic problems and are a nuisance to tourists and that’s why some have gone missing, as they’ve been moved already.
“Preah Sihanouk Province - Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Preah Sihanouk informs of cases of missing monkeys from Sihanoukville Independence Beach Hotel !!!”
Seems a bit of a strange thing to do. People go there to look at them but I guess it’s not making the authoritys any money so get rid.
Personally I find them strange (the monkeys) and am always weary of them, especially when they are holding an AK47. Next you’ll find the Statue of Liberty washed up on the beach.
“Ceaser!”
No more monkeying around for SIhanoukville.

They were tranquilized and relocated to Pursat. They are always a nuisance anyway.

yes. There is also:
2 Siamese crocs,
1 bored civet cat (used to be 3),
3 turtles,
1 large python,
9 goats,
2 emus,
1 eagle,
some geese,
1 massive pig
and a shit load of monkeys.
Also a KR killing fields stupa with bones and evidence of a place people smoke meth after hours.
Sadly the Indiana Jones rope bridge was destroyed in last years floods and a fairly shit heath-robinson style pont has been installed until the new wires arrive.
Popular with PP natives, but maybe not worth the journey unless you're passing. Amphe Phnom is the name.

Probably not Siamese crocs - very very rare and effectively protected here - much more likely to be a hybrid from the croc farming trade.
And the emus are probably just ordinary Cambodian ostriches tricked up to look like the famous Cardamom Night Emu - the worlds only pink emu species.
PS, Recent genetic research has proven that he Bored-civet has recently been found to be the same same species as the Interested-civet. The only difference being that the former has lost its library card.
