This tasty buffet in Thailand isn’t for the local people, it’s not even for honoured guests, it’s all for the resident macaques. These monkeys are responsible for a great amount of the area’s tourism, so these treats are a thank you. There are over 2000 monkeys in the region, but with over 4000 kilograms of fruit, vegetables, cakes and sweets, no one goes hungry. The festival takes place every November and has been going for over 30 years. So if you’re bananas for monkeys, head to the Phra Prang Sam Yod Temple, in Lopburi, Thailand!
