This practice is so prevalent in Thailand that I stumbled across a team of three coconut farmers with three monkeys working yesterday. This is not footage taken from somewhere else. My girlfriend and I shot all of this footage ourselves. Please share this video on social media to spread awareness of Thailand's coconut farming secret. I had no clue slave monkeys were being abused and forced to harvest coconuts all day long. Now that I do know, I'm refusing to consume coconut products.

This footage was taken in Thongsala Koh Phangan, Thailand.
