Wed Oct 30, 7:05 AM ET A Thai soldier (Tim) aims an anesthetic dart at monkeys in Lopburi province, 150 km (93 miles) east of Bangkok October 30, 2002. Almost 300 monkeys living at a palace in Lopburi suffer from a skin disease spread through sexual contact with humans, and Thai soldiers are currently sedating them with anesthetics so they can tend to their disease. The monkeys and the area in which they exist attract 3,000-4,000 tourists each day, and local authorities intend to tackle the problem quickly to keep it a popular tourist attraction.
