Monkey Beach is a travel destination on many people's bucket lists. A mere 10 minute boat ride from the ever so popular, Phi Phi Island in Thailand, Monkey Beach is a top tourist destination. 

In this podcast episode I discuss the pros and cons of Monkey Beach and rant about the selfish, irresponsible tourists we encountered. Give a listen if you have heard of Monkey Beach or plan to go. 

Let me know if you have been there (or any other popular animal tourist destination) and your thoughts about the situation. 

When traveling, especially to animal experience destinations, it is so important to be respectful of the animals and nature.
