10 Bizarre Festivals You Won’t Believe Exist
| August 24, 2018
Monkey Buffet Festival, Thailand
Let’s move away from the baby talk and move on to a pretty awesome event. I mean, if you’re a monkey, well most importantly a monkey living in Thailand.
Every year on the last Sunday in November, in Lopburi, Thailand, monkeys residing near the temple of Phra Prang Sam Yot are spoiled with a feast. The spread includes fruits, vegetables, and candies. I mean, who doesn’t love going out for all-you-can-eat buffet. However, the dinner is shared among more than 3,000 monkeys (a sure sight to see, if you’re a human of course).
The event does not have any religious ties, however, many people in Thailand believe that monkeys bring good fortune. Also, these little guys bring about a huge crowd that helps Thailand’s tourism dollar grow!
