A monkey ran away with a French tourist’s mobile phone in Phuket, Thailand and left a surprise on it, The Thaiger reported. After three Thai locals retrieved her phone, the tourist noticed that the monkey had taken a selfie video—a parting gift of sorts. The tourist, @justinefortemps, shared the monkey’s handy-work on TikTok on Feb. 28 with the caption “Monkey Hill Attack.” In the footage the young looking monkey was holding the tourist’s bright blue phone with its front paw, looking up from the phone to the French TikToker dressed in pink. Suddenly he darts for a tree and the tourist can be seen worried but laughing at her predicament. The monkey’s cinematography included a selfie video showing the monkey sticking his tongue out at the camera, before flipping the video to film its surroundings. At the end of the day, the French TikToker seemed to get a kick out of the footage on her phone and even made her profile picture a screengrab of the monkey’s selfie. The TikTok soon caught the attention of Thai users on the social media platform. The incident occurred at Khao Toh Sae in Phuket’s Ratsada sub-district— a common tourist attraction known for its sunset views and … monkeys.
