MONKEYS HILL

            Monkey Hill is another name for Toh Sae Hill in Phuket Town – the reason why becomes fairly obvious after a few hundred metres when you come across a troupe of macaques munching away on fruit. One of the highest hills in Phuket Town, Monkey Hill is home to a few TV and radio stations and a popular recreation spot where locals jog daily. A local man, known as Pae Hog (Uncle Hog), often performs a 'show' with the macaques. According to him, there are about 400 of these primates, which live in groups all over Monkey Hill. While they're not aggressive and don't approach people like most temple monkeys, care should be taken if you are visiting with small children.
