If you're a monkey lover, then you'd be thrilled to attend the Monkey Buffet Festival in Thailand.
The annual November event offers a huge spread of food and drink for local monkeys provided by those who gather in front of Pra Prang Sam Yot temple in Lopburi. In the province near Bangkok, over 2,000 monkeys are spoiled with delicious foods, encouraged to chow down on specialties like dragon fruit and bananas, then offered canned and bottled beverages to wash it all down.
