There's not a great deal to the smaller set of temple ruins at Prang Sam Yot in Lopburi - meaning others have more historical interest - but as these are actually in the town of Lopburi they're certainly easier to get to and usually have more monkeys "than Carters has little liver pills", as my grandfather used to say. The area around it is home to hundreds of them. In addition to seeing them clambering around on the ruins themselves you'll also see more than you can count on parked cars, shop fronts, signs, power lines, telephone poles... everywhere.
These were filmed one morning around 09:00 on a trip up into Isaan. Across the intersection from the ruins is another functioning temple where dozens of faithful were making merit that morning - and shooing away more monkeys - who were mainly looking for food, but also things to play with, such as cameras, hats, purses, that sort of thing.
