The incident took place on Phi Phi Island in Krabi Province. Local freelance guide Pokpong "Patrick" Suwannasit witnessed the incident, filmed it and posted it on social media.





The footage taken by the Thai shows the man standing waist-deep in water, holding a bag of chips and feeding them to monkeys, while other tourists take photos and cheer him on.

At this point, Patrick demanded that foreigners stop illegal feeding, which is dangerous for the animals, as it forces them to rely on people, which means going into residential areas in search of handouts.



However, the offender ignored all warnings. Now he is wanted by rangers of the national park. The man faces a fine of up to 1,000 baht (about $24).
