One activity for tourists in Ko samui is watching monkeys pick coconuts.It is a novel method of collecting them.The owners fasten the monkeys to long chains.When the monkeys go up the trees,the owners show which nuts they want their monkeys to pick by moving the chains.The monkeys then pick the ones their owners want.This method is so fascinating that the governor has decided to set up a school to train monkeys to pick coconuts for man.Coconuts on ko samui are supposed to be the best in Thailand. Some wonder whether this is due to the monkeys.
