Every year on the last Sunday of November, the local people provide a huge feast for some 3000 long-tail macaque monkeys that inhabit this part of Thailand, the Lop Buri Monkey Banquet. Lop Buri has long been famous for the sheer number of monkeys that hang around the town. The monkeys practically run the place, even take the train to commute to where they know they can find food.
