Chinese investments on hold, residents flee as 3,500 monkeys swarm Thai city

I’ve been to Lopburi. It’s a wild place with monkeys literally swinging from the power lines. Imagine being in a place where every squirrel, rat, and pigeon was replaced by a really ill tempered monkey about the size of a large house cat.

Lopburi was one of our favourite places to visit in Thailand. The monkeys had been getting increasingly cheeky while we were there 9 or so years ago. I read somewhere that they went nuts when covid hit and there weren't a ton of tourists to feed them.

I think I see the problem. They're leaving small alters of fruit for the simians.
