What fun things I have come across today. While looking at flights to Thailand I was alerted that on the 28th of November there will the annual "Monkey Party" in the small city of Lop Buri.
Once every year a glamorous buffet is setup for the monkeys that usually roam the city. Fueled on sugar highs from Coca Cola (see footage) they wreak havoc on the mound of food. Spectators look on.
This video is guaranteed to make you laugh! Or cringe at the waste of food. But surely you will laugh first.

Like monkeys? Thinking about starting a monkey party in your hometown? Wondering how to get started? Me too.

Happy fun times! Too bad that videographer had to be a jerk and put a watermark in the middle of the video.
Great post all the same. I had first seen of this festival during an episode of The Amazing Race. I wonder how friendly, or bite-y these monkeys are...

I agree re: the videographer. Huge jerkface.
So you have heard of this festival? I'm curious as well as to their friendliness. Emei mountain in Sichuan is famous for their monkeys.
When XF was climbing the mountain a monkey demanded her water bottle. She held it out and the monkey bounded away. Basically they know they are in charge.
Do you remember the monkey we saw in India who was carrying the piece of toast?
What kind of damage would these monkeys' bite inflict???
... OUCH !!! :(
I'm sure it wouldn't tickle. I had a classmate who had his bottom taken a bite out of in Sichuan. It didn't draw blood but apparently he had quite the mark to prove it.
