According to Thai media reports on November 28, at the annual monkey festival held in central Thailand last Sunday, a feast for the monkey king was put in front of the monkey group in Loburi. About 4,500 macaques roam the streets around the Monkey Temple in the city center.
The Monkey Feast Festival certainly isn't to everyone's taste, but it does attract raucous crowds. It is reported that it was last held in November last year.
Loburi, one of the oldest cities in Thailand, is home to King Narai's palace and Wat Ratana.
On Sundays, macaques gather around the temple, noisy and sometimes fight each other, but there is a sense of restraint before the buffet battle begins.
When the elaborate feast was delivered to the temple, the little monkeys began to pounce and soon gobbled up most of the vegetarian food.
The founder of the festival also explained the reason behind this lavish meal.
"This monkey festival promotes tourism in Lobri every year. Previously, there were only about 300 monkeys in Lobri, but now it has increased to almost 4,000. Lobri is known as the city of monkeys, which means that monkeys and people can live in harmony here. ”
But what people see on the ground is not. The monkeys attack visitors in disorder, occupying vehicles, lampposts and wherever they can be hanged. Although the monkeys themselves are clean and nicely dressed, the environment here is a mess.
"When I tried to take a selfie, a monkey was lying on my back. Stuart Diamond, a tourist from Hartlepool, UK, said. "It ripped sunglasses from my face and ran to the top of the streetlamp, trying to eat them." What a leather monkey.
In fact, many tourists' mobile phones and sunglasses have been snatched by these monkeys, but given that such experiences are enough to become the talk of these people after returning to China, such as I was robbed of sunglasses by the monkey banquet, it seems to be enough to compensate for the losses they suffered. Of course, usually, what was stolen by the monkey will eventually be returned.
It is reported that the festival is an annual tradition in Loburi, the capital of the province, to express gratitude to the monkeys for bringing visitors.
Wow, there are so many monkeys, Ah Lao is really afraid that he will be surrounded by monkeys after going, pointing and then snatching things. Only the bold dares to attend this banquet.
