Monkey Girl

If you ever forget you are in Thailand, a quick dose of the News should jerk you right back to the Thailand you know and love. Thais who believe in Karma, claim that Nong Pin is the result of bad karma:

Mrs. Mayuree explained that her father used to hunt animals when he was young and had killed many monkeys, langurs and gibbons and it is believed that Karma has made Nong Pin the way she is. The child’s grandparents are still alive and love Nong Pin very much, but they feel guilty and have sworn not to take any lives again.

Poor Nong Pin, the poster child of bad karma.
