thailand........day six

today after relaxing and enjoying walking on the beach....we got a truck taxi to go to the top of Takieb Mountain...



known as monkey mountain...due to the wild monkeys that live there that people enjoy feeding......at the bottom is a harbour where local fishermen sort out their catch for sale........the road up was almost vertical at some times and i was trying not to look over the big drop at the sides..........when we got up there it was like a wee village and shops .....



we climbed the steps that led to a temple and offered stunning views over all of hau hin...i realised that i dont really enjoy large groups of wild cheeky monkeys (excuse the pun)




they are unpredictable and as i was trying to mind my own business making my way up the vertical steps in the heat on made a b-line for me and jumped right on my wrapping itself round me....not impressed....i screamed and shook it off......stuart was nowhere to be seen as he was already at the top taking pictures...moments later a monk came along with a catapult and moved them off the steps ...............a moment to late i think..........
