Lopburi Province is famous for its large population of monkeys, who have strayed away from their wild roots and have become adapted to city life. The monkeys of Lopburi are everywhere, and they are a permanent fixture of the landscape. They are Crab-Eating Macaques, and most of them live in the vicinity of Prang Sam Yot, a Khmer temple, and Sarn Phra Karn, a Khmer Shrine. One might think that crab-eating macaques wouldn’t find much to eat in the temple, but fortunately this monkey species is omnivorous, and will eat whatever they get from the temple visitors.
