What to do at Thailand’s Monkey Buffet Festival!!!…

Hello people!!!
This week we’re going to travel to Thailand, where each year is heald the Thailand’s Monkey Buffet Festival at the city of Lopburi, in Lopburi Province. Lopburi is famous for it’s large population of monkeys, who have strayed away from their wild roots and have become adapted to city life.
The festival is just what it says on the label: a buffet for monkeys to enjoy at the Pra Prang Sam Yot temple. So here are some advices to enjoy the festival:

The first thing that you have to get upon entering the temple area during the festival is a stick, this will help to keep the monkeys at a distance if they become too close to you, (should be mentioned that hitting the monkeys is not allowed). The main event is the buffet, a huge feast of fresh fruit and vegetables are spread out for the guests and the monkeys to enjoy. Traditional song and dance, as well as prayers for the good fortune of both local humans and primates are also part of the program.
