Monkey see, monkey do, monkey eat
Monkeys and residents of Lopburi Province celebrated the 31st Monkey Party Festival held Sunday (November 24) at the iconic archaeological site Phra Prang Sam Yot with a buffet of fruits and sweets and fancy parades.
Opening the event, provincial governor Yongyuth Kitwatananusont jokingly issued an official invitation to the monkeys to join the celebration – not that they needed much encouragement!
Hundreds of Thai and foreign tourists flocked to see the simian free for all, laughing and snapping photos as the monkeys chowed down.
