A tourist fought with monkeys in Thailand, protecting his son (6 photos + 2 videos)

A family of travelers and vloggers from Australia vacationed in Thailand with her children and was attacked by a gang of monkeys. Father family rushed into battle to protect the frightened five-year-old son.





Riley Whitelum, 38, and Elaina Karausu, 29, visited beach on one of the islands of Phi Phi. Paradise place, whose idyll violated only by very numerous and arrogant monkeys, who completely do not hesitate to rush at people or rummage through the things of vacationers.

Riley saw the monkeys rummaging through his bag, where they money, passports and telephones, and went over to drive away the animals and return your things. One of the monkeys.

Riley managed to scare her off. He grabbed his son in his arms and lifted up so they don't get caught. Then, when the child was already in security. Riley rushed to the attack with fists and shouts, and even gave especially impudent monkey in the nose. But they still managed to scratch him, and bite, and later had to be vaccinated against tetanus and rabies.



While this battle was going on, Riley's wife was diving and had no idea what had happened.

“I had a fight with a dozen monkeys,” Riley told her. “These are the marks of their teeth.”



I'm embarrassed that I hit the monkey, but they went for Darwin, it was scary. None of the people on the beach helped.

After the skirmish, the family went to the hospital to get vaccination. And then do it five more times within 20 days. Doctors told them that, on average, two people a day came to see them after monkey bites.

According to Riley, if he and his wife knew about the dangers of this beach, they would never go there with their children.



Riley and Elaina are no ordinary family. They met nine years ago, within a few weeks both quit their jobs and set out to travel the world by boat. They didn't even have experience such travels.



But a few years later, they continue to live that way, despite the fact that they already have two children.
