Attacked by Monkeys!

Hi, new member here 😊 I am currently catching up on all your vids on YouTube. I was shocked watching this one that no one helped Riley. If all those people charged and shouted all at once they would have been more intimidated. Then was even more shocked seeing some of the comments parent shaming. Well done Riley for protecting your family I’m so glad you and the kids are ok after that. Poor Elayna as a mum myself I know exactly how she would have been feeling trying to swim back as quick as she could

I swear people need to open their eyes. Riley was trying to save his young kids and people are just... taking video with their heads up their butts..

What a traumatic experience for all of you! Brave daddy, including getting the shots in your finger, Riley. Glad you're all okay. I loved the end where you slowed down to mellow music for the sunset. It gave us more a feel of what it's like.

Ouch!

Damn those monkeys ! I tell you I have worked as an ER nurse for many years and I always hated give rabies shots in the wounds of victims. It just seems so cruel. But necessary. Glad the boys had a protective DaDa around to prevent them from getting bit as well.

Gut wrenching start to this episode… terrifying to watch Riles trying to protect and defend his children from such a dreadful attack! Those rabies shots are so dreadful because they are trying to force sooo much liquid into such a tiny bit of space. Just glad you didn’t have to punch the nurse/doctor out too! Maybe the kids won’t be really “scarred for life” as they say… I was minding a friends 4 yr old once and I thought it would be fun to feed the gulls with her… until what seemed like millions began attacking us … at 26 she has no memory of it! Tho I am still traumatized! Another kudos for your filming of the incredible beauty of the scenery around you! Most of us will never have that opportunity so it is dearly appreciated.

Hey guys.....just watched Riley's retort on Insta and so, I just wanted to add my response to your unnecessary and unfortunate need to answer to these lounge chair adventurers. F*%k them! It's all to easy to make comment about someone else's inability to do the right thing in a moment of panic when your only concern is protecting your children! Mate, I wouldn't even give these people (no matter how many) any space in your thoughts regarding what you did and how you reacted. They weren't there. They aren't sailing the world. They aren't putting their lives on show for all of us to watch, heck they probably haven't even left their own country in the past several years, let alone doing anything remotely like you two. So, again. F*%k them! AND! To hear them sat they that it was set up for clicks!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Sure...Elayna you go swimming, while I take our kids over to these angry rabies filled monkeys so I can 'get a cool clip for the Gram!' Elayna....yeah great idea Riley! C'mon people wake up. For every keyboard warrior out there there's 100,000 of us that appreciate what you guys create and do. So, keep doing that and at all costs keep protecting your family! Rant over.....

Unbelievable, glad everyone is ok!

Well it goes to show you can't always choose your relatives.

As soon as Riles said “get a rabies shot” 🤣 because I knew from experience it wasn’t just one! We had an encounter with a rabid skunk when I was a child, 8 years old. Our dog chased this skunk crashing through our basement window where we kept our “bottle” fed lambs. The skunk attacked both lambs locking jaws on one of them. My dad blasted it with a shot gun. We sent the skunks head in to the county laboratory for testing. Both lambs died before the test came back positive on rabies. Meanwhile my dad and us 3 boys had to get the rabies shots, 4 the first day and another 13 shots after that for just handling the lambs. It was only out of precaution for us to get the rabies vaccination, because rabies is fatal for humans! Glad the boys didn’t get bit, good job dad for protecting them 👍

Just saw your snips from this monkey attack video on an American entertainment show called Inside Edition. I saw the broadcast at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, March 21st eastern standard time.

Wow guys you even made it to a news website here in the Netherlands! I can’t upload a link or photo here, but go to www.nu.nl and there you will find it. Too bad though that the bad behavior of other people (that made the monkeys aggressive) now seems to rub off on you. ☹️

In full on tears watching Riles protect the kids like that... and some spontaneous laughter. This episode was great. Love you guys, glad everyone is okay.

Riley, I hate you had to go into "defense mode-fight or flight-or adrenaline blast " for you boys! The rabies protocol appears to be tough! You would think that with medical technology today they could detect it so you wouldn't have to suffer, but thankful you didn't have to get any more serious. Though I prefer to be passive if possible, you might consider making a "Louisville Slugger" standard equipment in the tender!? Be safe you all!

Can you review the taka cat please. Would it make a good tender

Please please get some trauma therapy for the kids before this settles in! (And maybe for yourselves as well). I love you guys! You are awesome parents, this is just my own professional training speaking. -Zoe Kunstenaar, MFT

Ditto 😊⛵

I'm glad everyone is safe.

Yikes. Glad everyone is ok.

This just in Riley cracked the 10 ten list of most wanted by the Wild Animal Kingdom. Reward 2 branches of bananas. Great job protecting the Fam.!

Wow what a roller coaster of an episode! Stunning shots at the end, Elayna 😍 you're doing such an incredible job of showing the beauty and reality of these islands.

Yikes! Glad you're all safe from those monkeys! I would punch a monkey to save Darwin & Lenny any day!

I lived in Thailand for almost 2 years…these monkeys aren’t like normal monkeys 😂 the street dogs too. They’ll get cha good

Riley you have balls of seal dude. And thank the gods the kids were all ok. First thing l noticed after seeing the kids were ok was all the dick heads standing, watching and filming you guys being attacked. Not one prick that l saw bothered to even ask if you guys were ok. Sorry but that stuff really makes me made. Video was amazing as usual. So glad your all ok and Hope Riley hasn’t started having a banana fetish 😳 Sorry couldn’t help myself😁

Watching that opening scene was mental! So glad you guys are all ok and well done Daddy Riley protecting your kiddos like that. Be prepared guys, I’ve got a feeling this video will go viral. I literally watched it twice already

One of the best episodes yet Elayna, even with the terrifying start! Those closing shots of the sunsets with you and kids just enjoying the peace and quiet are incredible.

Damn, even I dreamt of monkeys last night :') Happy u are all okay! Hats off to Riley! Disappointing headshakes for all the people who just stood by. Hopefully less scary adventures next :)

So infuriating that all those people on the beach just stood there, when people were in real danger, and kids were involved. Glad you guys are safe.

Hats off to Sir Riley who fended off these crazy macaques with his bare hands thus saving his family and friends from serious injuries. . . . you would think that something can be done to protect visitors to this island . . . . deeply sorry Riley has to go through this regimen of medications and shots . . . next time, bring along a taser , , , a scary episode!

I feel horrible for Riley but thank goodness the boys were hurt.

What an episode! We are glad everyone is OK, sorry to see Riley going through that painful treatment. Glad he is OK. The islands are beautiful. Hope you guys had an awesome downtime away from tech and social media.

Far out those monkeys are mental! Glad they didn't hurt the boys. Darwins little 'hey!' to his lizard friend at the end was too sweet 😘

Shore packing list: towels “check” — ice chest “check” — monkey stick “check” Let’s go! Alternate names: monkey masher, boots basher, baboon bat, primate pole, or simian staff. Glad you’re ok.

Holy moly! Riley I feel you with the needles in the fingers, I had 15needles in a wound in my finger last year and it was the most excruciating pain I’ve ever felt, I nearly kicked a nurse in the face accidentally 🙊 apart from the intense ness… you all look stoked to be back exploring onboard. The boat is amazing and I can see feels more spacious, so I can only imagine yours will be even more amazing.

I’m SO glad it wasn’t worse. Those macaques were on the on the war path! You need to carry a cricket bat. You never know when you might need a cricket bat!

Oh my gosh how terrifying. Made me want to cry to see the kids screaming in fear. Riley’s tougher than I would be. Can’t believe you all went right back to sailing right after the shots. The underwater video looked so beautiful. Too bad you didn’t get to see more of the area in the clear water.

So relieved that you're all ok and just suffered a bite, although it looks nasty 🤢 can't stand needles!! I feared one of the boys got snatched. I hope it doesn't effect them going on other beaches now.

I don't want to be an alarmist, but didn't Darwin touch the fresh wound with his fingers? And then his fingers end up in his mouth. I am sure you noticed during editing as well .. I hope you did :-/

Wow! So scary for the boys. Its a bit of a mini trauma so hopefully you can all talk it out. Probiotics would be great for Riley for a few months to help replenish natural gut flora. Sending you all lots of love.

That anchorage at Koh Muk looked spectacular! I kept rewinding and playing it over. I've been following you guys almost from the beginning, binge watching the first eight or ten episodes till I was caught up, and I know Riles is a gentle soul. I'm also a dad and fully understand the overwhelming instinct to protect. You did nothing I wouldn't have done, mate. More restrained if anything.

Oh my God! That was a crazy video! So glad you guys are OK

Adventure turned dangerous! Video is spectacular and coverage nauseating! Glad no one else was injured, except Riley! So sad and empathetic for the rabies treatment; hang tuff, captain 👨‍✈️ Thanks for sharing

Jaw dropped. So glad you are ok. Can't believe no one stepped in to help. We would have ;)

Thats a wild little Monkey battle, glad everyone was ok, sorry you got a bite Riley. Did you fix the furling main sail?

It looked like there were a lot of people on that beach. I wonder if they had all come to Riley's assistance, the monkeys would have backed off. It's a shame he had to handle it alone!

Even watching I was getting so mad at the rubberneckers just standing there! so pleased you had your friends there to help with the small people.

Omigod! That was scary. I remember as a child, there were public infomation films about rabies, and kids had to have injections directly into the stomach! Had nightmares about that.

So glad everyone is okay. And what shitty people for just standing and filming!! That shocked me. Riley, you did what we all would do to protect our kiddos. Precious cargo ♥️ That beach at the end, though. Magnificent! Can’t wait to see where you guys go next 😊

Im looking forward to see what is next. cage fighting monkeys is really hard to beat ;)

OMG. So sorry Riley. Get well soon. Rabies is not something to take lightly. The teeth they had were awful. So glad kids are okay and hoping your nightmares end soon. New environment to learn. For sure listen to locals. Sorry the others were too afraid to help you but it might have been much worse, who knows, if they had. Do not miss any appointments.

🖤

Protecting his children/family is high on the list of job descriptions for a father. No one would think that he is a harmer of animals. That was really quite scary. Riley "stepped up to the plate" beautifully.

Any chance of getting a review of the Rapido 50 and how it compares to the 40 and the 60?

I was just thinking, it wasn't that many generations ago, that venturing out to enjoy nature was considered reckless and dangerous. Because if you were going to meet an early grave it would likely be at the hands of nature. Look how far we've come.

Don’t mess with Papa Bear!!!

It'll be fun, they said...
