PHETCHABURI: Plans are being made to relocate the large population of rascally macaques at Phra Nakhon Khiri, or Khao Wang, historical park in Muang district to a place where they can live more naturally and annoy no-one, provincial governor Natthachai Nampoonsuksan said.

There were now about 3,000 macaques in Muang district alone and 1,000-1,500 in each of the other districts, and the population was growing, Mr Natthachai said on Wednesday.
