In what must be described as a terribly unfortunate incident, a British woman was viciously attacked by a pack of monkeys while on a trip to conquer her long-standing fear of apes. The attack happened on Monkey Island, near Phi Phi Don, in the Andaman Sea off the holiday island of Phuket (pronounced poo-ket).
