A 5-star buffet for monkeys
Two tonnes of grilled sausage, fresh fruit, vegetables, ice cream, milk and jelly. Two thousand guests. A lot of monkey business.
The town of Lopburi in Thailand celebrated its annual Monkey Festival recently, laying out a lavish banquet for the more than 2,000 macaques that roam freely through it. Locals believe that providing food for the monkeys, Lopburi?s famous residents, brings good fortune and prosperity.
The feast is also a sort of ?thank you? for the animals whose antics entice thousands of tourists to the town every year.
Twenty chefs from some of Bangkok?s top hotels prepared the feast for the primates at the downtown San Pra Kan shrine. Buffet tables groaned with the feast, which cost more than 500,000 baht (around Rs 495,000) and that included a pricey variety of the pungent durian fruit, which the monkeys ate with gusto.
