“More than any other place in Thailand, Lopburi is a city besieged by monkeys…” ~ Lonely Planet.

The only reason that we came to Lopburi, and the reason we carried on with our struggle to make it here, is because there are hundreds – maybe thousands – of monkeys. They’re everywhere. On everything – it’s crazy! They steal things from moving cars, they pull the protective insulation off the powerlines, they swing from shopfronts and they bully people for their lunch! Remember the movie Gremlins? When they’re everywhere? Destructive and mischievous… its just like that, but they’re macaques! And Justin fed them, and let them crawl all over him (and wasn’t he itchy later!?) Its incredible that we never heard of this place before coming to Thailand!
There is far more to see, than say, so that you can believe it. The photos don’t even do it justice, but GO TO http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q164/erinfearn/SE%20Asia/Monkeys/?start=all TO SEE PHOTOS!
PS: we have only published a tenth of the photos we took...
