Lopburi’s Monkey Party Confirmed for 25 November 2012

Now in its 24th year, the popular monkey party at Phra Prang Sam Yot in Lopburi will take place on Sunday 25th November 2012. The city is famous for the monkeys that roam the streets and temple ruins. The event was started about twenty years ago as a way for local business people to thank the monkeys for attracting tourists to the city. A big banquet is put on for the monkeys which includes local fruit. The opening ceremony and special activities will be at 10 a.m. There will then be a second round of feeding the monkeys at 12 p.m. Some people go to Lopburi as a day trip from Bangkok, but it is more advisable to book a hotel. The last time that I went I stayed at the Lopburi Inn. It is also a good opportunity to visit the local sunflower fields in Lopburi and nearby Saraburi.
