Thailand’s annual buffet for hungry monkeys

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

The only thing worse than a regular buffet line is one completely dominated by screeching feral primates. Every year, the Thai city of Lopburi hosts the Monkey Buffet Festival, laying out thousands of pounds of fresh fruit, vegetables, and sweets. It is a massive thank-you feast dedicated to the local macaque population that drives the city's tourism industry.
