A rogue wild monkey is terrorising stall holders at a market after 'hitch hiking' from a town overrun with primates.
The male macaque is believed to have reached to the market in Ang Thong province after climbing into a pickup truck and riding 25 miles from the notorious city of Lopburi, where monkeys have taken over the streets.
Footage from Tuesday morning (June 30) shows the primate walking and climbing around on the building after it had damaged the vendors' goods.
One of the traders, Paweena Semathong, 64, said locals had complained of being terrorised by the monkey and needed the authorities to take care of him.
She said: "Normally, there are no wild monkeys in the area and this one might have come Lopburi.
It's possible he was separated from his troop and climbed into a car.
"Our goods were damaged by the monkey and we are worried it would attack the children.
We want the authorities to take action before more start arriving.'' In neighbouring Lopburi, thousands of monkeys have taken over the streets after food shortages during the coronavirus lockdown.
They were seen last week attacking people, raiding shops and stealing food from pickup trucks.
Officials have started a mass sterilisation programmed to try and control the population.
