I'm guessing it didn't work.

A macaca incident.

Turns out she was absolutely right, it would seem.

>> A British woman who went to a Thai nature resort to conquer her fear of monkeys... lost consciousness after the monkeys surrounded her and sank their teeth into her arms and body.

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together?

That day some people were teasing the monkeys. They don't necessarily attack the specific person teasing them."

Convenient excuse!

Reminds me of the scene in Batman Begins when Bruce Wayne goes into the den of bats.

A British woman who went to a Thai nature resort to conquer her fear of monkeys has been savaged by a pack of macaques.

EPIC FAIL ?

[shibumi]

Good thing she wasn't afraid of Hippos!

[Richard Kimball]

Fear isn’t always a bad thing. Besides, how often do you run up on monkeys in your everyday life? If she had a phobia about sidewalks or something, yeah find a way to conquer it. However, I’ve found that my life is not diminished in any way by the absence of monkey encounters.

[Terry Mross]

Obviously a justified fear.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Imagine while out for a stroll one comes upon a writhing, heaving mass-O-monkeys. It would be difficult to imagine what was under the pile!

[Nervous Tick]

>> Thai fishermen ran to the rescue after spotting more monkeys joining the assault and began prising them off.

Silly fisherman! It just doesn't seem like pissing the monkeys off is a wise thing to do when they're ALREADY pi... Huh? Oh. PRISing. Nevermind.

[SJSAMPLE]

A co-worker of mine just laughed and said,
"Well, at least it's not an irrational fear, anymore."

[Cold Heart]

Now, for therapy, where she should have gone in the first place, is Africa, where she can shoot them.

[Retired Greyhound]

Why did she feel that her Monkey-phobia was limiting her and needed to be conquered?

They must have smelled her fear or thought she was stupid.

[MarineBrat]

I’m afraid of monkeys too. Except that my way of expressing that fear is that I don’t go to where monkeys freely roam. Sometimes you need to let your fears whisper into your ear.

[twhitak]

Isn’t it obvious that the monkeys were just trying to help her overcome her fear?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Will dying in a plane crash help one overcome their fear of flying?

[Mac from Cleveland]

I have a fear of being stuck in an elevator with a bikini-clad Cindy Crawford overnight-maybe this type of therapy might work for me. Who can I talk to to see if I can confront my demons?

[gundog]

Problem solved. Now she has a rational fear of monkeys.
