The monkeys of Lopburi (video)
Lopburi is the capital of the province of the same name in Thailand. It is located about 150 km north-east of Bangkok. It is one of the oldest and most atmospheric cities in Thailand with numerous historical sights, the origins of which sometimes date back to the 6th century.
The ancient Khmer temple, Prang Sam Yot and the Khmer shrine, Sarn Phra Karn in the city are beautiful icons of a bygone era. The structure has three prangs, representing Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva (the Hindu trinity). It was later recognized as a Buddhist shrine.
Lopburi is also the city of the apes (macaques) which, because they live in the temples of the city, are considered 'sacred animals' by the Thai.

Every year a special festival for the monkeys is organized in Lopburi. The festival takes place on the last weekend of November and is a major attraction for locals and foreign visitors. The festivities include a 'monkey tea party' where the macaques are spoiled with sweets, fruit, eggs, cucumbers and bananas.
Video: The monkeys of Lopburi
Watch the video here:
So I don't have to be, if I could already see the macaques in Phuket town (viewpoint) and Prachuap Khirikan.
Especially in the last place, they are also quite numerous. There is a fountain at a parking lot in front of the mountain temple and that is their domain. Nobody parks there.
However, completely on the other side of that is a military area, you can also come. There is a sentry post at one point, but allow yourself. And that's where the spectacled langur can be found. These are much more shy and you will have to be patient to see one.
Much nicer critters to see. You drive all the way on the road to a forest with some "tourist buildings" and there you can encounter them. I managed to capture one with camera. stayed long enough.
Sorry, I think it's annoying and cheeky bastards.
Have seen them in many places in Thailand.
Shopping bags and women's bags are not safe, even on the golf course they try to unzip your golf bag and grab what there is to grab; it could just be your wallet.
I've even had them in my pocket.
And if you're unlucky enough to be bitten, you can go straight to the hospital for an anti-tetanus shot.
Yes Peer, you write 'And if you are unlucky that they bite you, you can go straight to the hospital for an anti-tetanus shot'.
I would add: if you're lucky, it will stick to that anti-tetanus shot. And if you're unlucky, you can go to the hospital for a shot against rabies (rabies). What those girls in the video are willing to undergo for that snapshot or video is irresponsible.
Monkeys can't be trusted.
I've been bitten by it myself once.
They are predators looking for food.
I can still see my wife standing in the back of the pic up waving a piece of wood to try and defend our food from the robbers.
We have now taken both rabies injections.
In the coffee shop where I regularly drink a cup of cappucino on the terrace, people regularly suffer from macaques.
Monkeys with a height of half a meter.
They have a long stick of 3 meters ready to drive the animals away.
Do almost all primates suffer from khun moo fairly unreliable to very unreliable.
Depends a bit on what species you're dealing with. [hahaha]
Those beasts simply live here and yes if you are going to make an attraction out of it as the supreme primate for the pleasures, you can also have the burdens.
Never understood that photographed with animals of any kind.
