Monkeys at Prang Sam Yot Temple, Lopburi, Thailand (3/3)

From Lopburi, Thailand, in February, 2007. Take at Prang Sam Yot, an ancient temple from the Khmer period that was converted from Hindu to Buddhist use. The temple is home to a famous clan of monkeys. They live there during the day and cross the street to another temple during the day. It's an odd place-- an ancient temple in the same style as those of Angkor. However, instead of being hidden away in lush forests, this one is on a small plot of land smack in the middle of a small town. It's surrounded on three sides by appliance and grocery stores, with a railroad along the other side. These videos are all about monkeys. The monkeys are quite accustomed to humans, and even like to climb on people or steal their food or drinks. Here you can see me walking among them.

Yes, you should go. Lopburi was my favorite place in Thailand. If you go on the right weekend in February, they have a large historic festival, but there still aren't many foreign tourists.

I would have loved to hit the one at 0:09 with a bat. I have found one good use for the vermin. If you hook them right, through the neck and out the nose, they make good shark bait. They splash a lot, attracting sharks. For the smaller fish, barrcuda etc. I use the babies. They can last up to an hour before they drown.

I have a lot of sharks near. They follow the boat now expecting a monkey or baboon treat. My boat has slick sides so they can't climb back in.
