I came last year and the Office of the Provincial Administrative Organization pointed out that there should be a sports field here, but it didn't cost a lot of money. It is an investment but very effective. That improves the quality of life of the people, whether it is a garden near the house, a sports field near the house. or child care center Good school near home These are the heart that makes a community stronger.

This point is where the monkeys originally lived. causing the district to try to solve the problem Come gather to find food in this zone so that the monkeys don't spread out into the alley. At this point there are 120 monkeys, about 90 of which have been sterilized. While visiting the area There was a owner of a nearby house who came to ask the governor. Help because there is a problem with monkeys trying to break into the house and search for food. which must be endured for many years Try to make the fence more frequent and taller. change door knobs But monkeys can learn and enter. In an additional interview, the Governor of Bangkok said that even at this point, most monkeys have regulations in finding food. Because there are clear zones And will try to make the other two points have food zones for the monkeys. in order not to go out to look for food and dismantle things outside the alley The important thing is to control the population through gradual sterilization. which is the power of the National Park Service Some things have been gradually done, such as the issue of monkey behavior. That we have to learn from each other. The monkeys at Soi Thian Talay 22 were seen to be well behaved. But in Soi Samae Dam 17 Maybe a little fierce It must be understood by the people. in learning behavior Because monkeys are kind. But if pro voked It may harm people. As for the problem of monkeys breaking into that person's house. Governor Chatchat We will find a way to help by having the district study the problem in detail. Because right now in Soi Thian Talay 22, they are trying to organize a zone for monkeys to cluster at the end of the alley. Even though the problem was solved to prevent the monkeys from spreading to other places. But it was found that houses in this area were affected. Problem solving section If the monkeys were to be moved to live together in a remote place like in other provinces, I think it might be difficult in the Bangkok area.
