Lopburi province, Thailand: The Monkey Buffet
Every year, all of the province's approximately 600 monkeys are invited
to eat fruits and vegetables during an annual feast held in honor of
Rama, a hero of the Ramayana, who, it is said, rewarded his friend and
ally, Hanuman the Monkey King, with the fiefdom of what is now Lopburi.
