Monkey Buffet Festival
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The 'Monkey Buffet Festival ' is held annually in Lopburi, Thailand.[1] In 2007, the festival included giving fruits and vegetables to the local monkey population of 2,000 in Lopburi Province north of Bangkok.[2]
The festival was described as one of the strangest festivals by London's Guardian newspaper along with Spain's baby-jumping festival.[3] A photograph from the Monkey Buffet Festival at Pra Prang Sam Yot temple in Lopburi Province shows a monkey trying to get at fresh fruits and vegetables embedded in blocks of ice.[4]
