The festival is held every year on the last Sunday of November which was the 26th in 2023. Usually there are four banquets that day which take place at four different times; 10am, 12am, 2pm and 4pm after an official opening ceremony.

Lopburi is located about 150 kilometres north of Bangkok, and the buffet and its impressive fruit towers are located near the historical Khmer ruins and the Phra Prang Sam Yot temple.

The first Monkey Buffet Festival was organised in 1989 by a local Thai businessman to attract more tourists to the town. It worked, as the festival has grown into an important attraction for the local population, as well as Thai and international visitors.

The festival may not be for everyone since you are dealing with wild animals that have been known to bite or steal your belongings in search of food. It is a unique experience and something you will always remember.
