Monkey Buffet Festival in Thailand



Monkey Buffet Festival holiday or is held annually on the last Sunday of November in the city of Lopburi in Thailand. On this day in the city organized a real feast for its famous residents of monkeys, which attract thousands of tourists to the city. Four thousand pounds of fruit, vegetables and other goodies lay out on a huge plate as a thank you from the locals. Watch funny feast monkeys in Thailand.

The origins of this festival can be found in the Thai epic, which says that Hanuman ape-god and his army of monkeys rescued from the evil demon. Since then, the Thais show great respect and reverence to all the monkeys living in Thailand.
Hundreds of monkeys live in the Thai city of Lopburi since time immemorial. Once upon a time they settled in the walls of ancient temples and live there still.
Macaques perfectly fit into the local realities; they cleverly cope with traffic, very curious and not afraid of people.

Macaque’s famous resident Lopburi attracts many tourists to the city. Especially a lot of visitors flock to the city on the day of their holiday to look at this amazing prirshestvo.
On this day, the city hosts macaque’s true celebration of the stomach."Feast" takes place before the temple Phra Prang Sam Yot. I think this year tailed city residents were satisfied and full.
Although urban monkeys usually hand, and look so touching, it must be remembered that they may have to scratch or even bite. Macaques are very curious, so travelers should be prepared also to the fact that they try to get to you in a backpack. Sometimes, monkeys steal food from naive tourists is selected cameras or water bottles.
