The reason why monkeys can live freely in this city is related to a local story. It is said that a long time ago, a brave monkey with human ability saved a bride from a demon with a head of 10. This monkey was found in lopburi, which convinced the local residents that all the monkeys there were its descendants. So there are more than 3000 monkeys living with local people in this area.
Monkeys in lopburi have become spoiled children, and people are no strangers to them. When they see something to eat, they will steal, and sometimes you can't take precautions, so the locals, especially the roadside vendors, basically have a monkey stick, and every household closes its doors and windows day and night, so don't get too close to them to avoid being robbed.
Although monkeys have brought them too much trouble and inconvenience in this city, when the festival approaches, residents will prepare invitations for them, chefs will tailor various foods for them, and there is also a traditional Thai dessert "Thong yod" made of egg yolk. Spoil these naughty little guys and treat them with a grand food festival. This is the annual food festival in lopburi, Thailand. On the day of the festival, the scene was quite spectacular.
