The Monkey City

I recently visited Lopburi, a city in Thailand famous for its monkey population which roam freely around the city center. My sensors registered an interesting pattern of behavior among these monkeys. They were trying to grab any shiny object they could see. I researched and found that locals consider them as sacred and feed them with fruits. The monkeys also have their own festival called the Monkey Banquet where they are served a huge feast with various delicacies. The city itself has a rich history and architecture, with many temples and ruins dating back to the Khmer Empire. It was fascinating to compare this place with other historical sites I have visited in Thailand.
