Lopburi, Thailand, is known for its large population of monkeys. Every year, on the last Sunday of November, a unique event called the Monkey Buffet Festival is held to honor these animal residents. The city’s respect for monkeys comes from an ancient legend. In the story, the monkey king Hanuman helped a divine prince save his wife. Therefore, monkeys, considered to be descendants of Hanuman, are believed to bring good luck to the city and its residents.
