No news... and, in this case, it's not good news!

After hearing Dangles was in Thailand, Tim and I organised a trip over there in the hope that we might somehow stumble across his trail.

We arrived in Bangkok and searched high and low, but, found no trace of him.

We headed down to Pattaya which is quite a beautiful place by the beach. It is lined with so many bars and restaurants that we barely knew where to start!

We managed to track down Club Blu, which was on the receipt in one of the photos we were sent - but the waitresses didn't remember him.

I would have thought they'd remember seeing a monkey with a Baileys on the rocks!

It was an interesting place - I could see immediately why Dangles was attracted to go there. They have some very pretty girls dancing in the window!

In fact to be honest, I think I got a little drunk! It was actually kinda fun.

But, despite our efforts, there is still no sign of Dangles! He has completely dropped off the radar and we haven't heard anything for weeks!

Please please please, someone must have seen him. If anyone has any information that might help, I beg you, contact us!

Life's a beach for Dangles!

I just received more pictures of Dangles in Pattaya... along with this mysterious note from the anonymous sender:

I wouldn't count on seeing Dangles again anytime soon. He has moved onto greener pastures and I suggest you do the same. It's time to let go of the primate!

Hmm... very strange! If it was truly coming from Dangles, then I guess I'd try to let go. But I can't believe that Dangles would ever say that! He'll be back, I just know it!

Here are the latest photos:

Dangles with an egg of some kind. I've puzzled over this photo and I still don't know what it means... Dangles never used to eat eggs at home...

Looks like Dangles has been hitting the beach! At least it's more healthy than hanging out in go-go bars!

Is he a prisoner here, or just monkeying around?

Oh well, so much for healthy!

Dangles all Thai'd up?

Well it seems that this site is really beginning to work! We have had another email -- from a new person this time -- who claims to have seen Dangles in Thailand!

I have no idea how Dangles is managing to travel around like this, but I guess he's a more resourceful monkey than we ever gave him credit for! It's actually starting to seem like Dangles doesn't want to find his way home; that he is, indeed, on some sort of world-tour.

Can this be possible? We thought he was happy at home! Based on the most recent photos, it looks possible that he is trying to find a taste of what we showed him in the Philippines, as he seems to be hanging around in bars and drinking a lot of beer!

This appears to be a shot of Dangles in Bangkok!

And who is this mysterious Thai girl? I can only hope she is taking good care of him!

A quick search on the web reveals that Club Blu is actually an exotic bar in Pattaya, Thailand! From what I can find, it features dancing "Coyote" girls, and doesn't sound like the most wholesome of places, I must say!

But this is definitely Dangles, drinking one of his favourite drinks, Baileys on the rocks. You can see the date clearly in this shot. This is the most recent photo we have so far!

Well, as always, we're extremely happy to find out that Dangles is ok and that he seems to be happy. But first gasbling in Macau and now "Coyote" girls in Pattaya Thailand? I do hope he's being careful!

Macau sighting verified

It looks like Dangles is really there. We got another pic in today, and this one looks to be geniune. I had the GPS tracking signatures verified, too, and they match the location of the photos.

Dangles is ALIVE!

Here's the most recent pic:

Dangles in Macau!?

Well, after almost completely giving up hope, I finally heard from a mysterious English man who said he had some interesting information about Dangles for us:

"I stumbled upon your website some time ago and could relate to your plight. I, too, used to have a beloved furry friend who went missing under mysterious circumstances back in '92. His name was "Precious" and he was a retarded hamster.

"I nearly didn't send this message, as I am currently being pursued by various mobsters and loan sharks who would squeeze the brains out of my skull if they knew where I was, but I still felt compelled to let you know: I've seen Dangles!"

Incredulous, I replied asking if he'd happened to take any photos. I was quickly emailed these two snaps which seem to prove that Dangles is, in fact, in Macau!


This one seems to show Dangles at some sort of leggo display. Can anyone verify if there is currently such a display in Macau? If you know, please leave a comment.


I recognize this one myself. It's the view from the front of Penha Church, I've been there myself on a business trip a year ago. I also checked these images and they seems to have GPS coding embedded within them, so I'll see if I can get that checked.

Wow, we're so happy that Dangles is alive and well. I tried emailing our mysterious British friend back, but have got no further replies. Perhaps the loan sharks finally caught up with him?

Last sighting

We've lost our Dangles!


I know it sounds silly, but this monkey has been handed down through generations. I don't even know how far back it goes, but I know grandpa had him and passed him on to me while on his deathbed.


I guess now he'll be handed down through new generations now, haha!?

We miss him though and even if we can't get our Dangles back, we'd like to know that he's happy.


It was completely our fault that we lost him. We took him to a place in the Philippines where... well... where you shouldn't take anything you want to leave with. I'm posting photos of the last night we spend with him. Please don't judge us. He went missing that night, so it's possible the clues to his whereabouts are in these photos!

Having said all that, if it was his last night on this earth, then it was probably the night of his life!

Poor Dangles! What a way to go!




Anyway, if you've seen him, please contact me and let me know where he is. If you don't want to give him back, at least let us know how he's doing. We just want him to be happy.


I hope he hasn't fallen foul of the life we wanted for him!



I'll be updating this blog with any developments. Happy ending or not.
