POLICE in Thailand have admitted they are powerless to control sex-crazed monkeys that have overrun a city.

The population of macaques, which has been growing on a massive scale, are also eating themselves to death by gorging on junk food.

Police officer Nirad Pholngeun this week told the Deccan Herald that trying to disperse large groups of primates was "hopeless".

The officer has been using a slingshot to scare away the large group of macaques but they return in a matter of minutes.

He said: “Within a blink of an eye there are more monkeys. So many babies.”

Locals from the tourist hotspot of Lopburi have been afraid to leave their homes due to the impending attacks by the macaques.

The primates have based themselves in an abandoned cinema in the city where they also leave the remains of their dead love ones.

Any human who attempts to enter is reportedly attacked.

Last month we reported that the population of monkeys were being sterilised by Thai authorities in a bid to bring them under control.

But the primates have continued to rampage the city as the lack of tourists continues to leave them without food.

Before coronavirus, the humans and the primates used to live together peacefully with the monkey population believed to be as high as 6,000.

Locals began feeding the macaques junk food in an attempt to calm the overzealous monkeys down but it made the situation worse.

Their new sugary diet and the lack of tourists because of the Covid-19 crisis have conspired to make life miserable for the people of Lopburi.

As a result of their junk food diet, the urban monkeys have less muscle than their wild counterparts.

Many suffer from blood disease and hypertension.

Narongporn Doodduem, the director of a regional office of the Wildlife Conservation Department, said: “The monkeys are never hungry, just like children who eat too much KFC.”

Many local residents have been forced to barricade themselves at home as the monkeys take over the streets.

Local woman Kuljira Taechawattanawanna told the Daily Mail it was like being in prison: "We live in a cage but the monkeys live outside."

Despite the animals being outnumbered by the 750,000 humans living there, parts of the city are said to now be no-go zones.

I remember reading in the very early 2000s about a group of male monkeys in India that would run out of cover up to an unsuspecting person, surround them, furiously masturbate, then run off back into cover again.

The very idea of it is still one of the most bizarre and hilarious things i've heard.

With COVID keeping everyone at home and away from tourist destinations, city-dwelling monkeys are having a famine, leading to a lot of this crazed, desperate behavior.

The video has a great shot of a monkey with his nuts on a counter drinking a juice box the wrong way... if that’s the kind of entertainment you crave.
