Because that Is what they do. Eat things. I have seen other monkeys around thailand, and they would try to steal your snacks and come to play with the tall hairless intruder. These monkeys? Maybe they are sacred monkeys, I don’t know, maybe they are just too spoiled and full. They don’t even bother stealing the peanuts from the vendor anymore…

But the thing that made me laugh in lopburi is the ways the locals learnt to live with these monkeys running around town, with the main item you see everywhere being stuffed alligators, fluffy and cute, on top of all the cars. It seems the monkeys, without malice, were jumping on the cars on their way from wire to balcony, and left dents as they passed.

To avoid that damage to your car, a crocodile scares away the monkeys. A stuffed cute crocodile. Hey, it works what can I tell you. Worship all you like , in the end they are afraid of a fluffy stuffed animal. If only it would work on our gods too… |
