In Thai, it is the Ling.

They have no other word for primates, besides "King Kong" a term adopted by the Thai people in 1977, when the US sent them the "King Kong 77" movie. So large Ling or Ling like creatures are called "King Kongs". When my wife saw "Star Trek: TNG" she called the Klingons as "King Kongs" because of their hair, beards, and Ling-like appearances and temperment. :)
