Thailand - Koh Samui attractions Thailand

Many attractions have a distinctly local flavour, like the monkey show, and while others simply show off the beauty of the place. Monkey show, a must-see to Samui Island. Monkey Show, for centuries the local people have used monkeys to do the hard work of climbing the trees to pick coconuts. Samui has masses of plantations and until tourism, coconuts were the main industry here, so these industrious little animals are greatly prized. In the outdoor theatre, monkeys display their incredible dexterity, and not just at picking coconuts.

Monkey shows are just for amusing and entertaining the audiences. Some peddlers kept monkeys and put on the monkey shows to attract customers. This was especially popular in industries practicing selling medicines.
