In an emotional TikTok, an Australian traveller has urged other visitors to Phuket, Thailand to avoid unethical wildlife attractions, after a “repulsive” experience holding a baby monkey.
Influencer Rory Eliza, who has 6.8 million followers on TikTok, said that, at first, a travel guide was “iffy” about directing their request to hold a monkey. Then, the traveller looked for another guide, who pointed them towards their desired destination.
The TikToker said they had to pay before entering.
