Description: |
|
Among Lopburi's many attractions, one of the more unusual
features of the city is its large monkey population. The monkeys
can be spotted throughout the city, but are most ubiquitous
around the ancient Khmer shrine of Prang Sam Yod. The monkeys
here have grown fat on the handouts of visitors to the shrine.
However, just because they're used to being fed doesn't mean
these monkeys are tame. They can be quite agressive and are also
attracted to hats and bags. It seems that anyone entering the
temple compound wearing a hat doesn't keep it for long.
Although generally something of a nuisance, the monkeys are such
a tourist draw that local businessmen treat them to a full
course Chinese dinner every year to thank them. The dinner is
served sometime in November at the Phra Prang Sam Yod shrine
and, as you can imagine, it gets a bit messy. |
