One day while my mom was visiting in December, 2012, Steve and decided to take her to visit a winery close to a town called Lopburi. I had heard about this town and it's unusual residence so I had to take my mom there after a few glasses of wine.
The monkeys all congregate in the village square where people are there with small bags of sunflower seeds that they sells to tourists for about 50 Baht ($1.50). I think I was given 2 bags for that price. Anyway, the monkeys know whats what and they wait patiently (or sometimes not so patiently) while you tear open the bag, bend down and pour some seeds into your hands.
The monkeys had very soft paws and none of them tried to bite at all. We did see a few fight among themselves which was a little scary!
Here is mom communicating with her little friends!
Yes, I know, I have a monkey on my back! He even left little paw prints running up my shirts. I smelled like monkey afterwards too!!!
So that was our trip to monkey city. Hope you enjoyed it. I know they did!
Sawatee Ka!
