MORE Monkey Business: Lopburi #2

There was an email yesterday evening wondering if there were any more photos of the monkeys in Lopburi, as they were planning a trip through there. How's this for fast service?

The ruins of Prang Sam Yot sit in a large square open area smack in the middle of a business area, somewhat cat-a-corner across a busy intersection from the active temple. As I mentioned yesterday, you can't go anywhere there without seeing a monkey.

The last photo today may give you the impression that there was about to be a monkey BBQ, but strangely enough I saw hundreds of them skittering along and around the ball of snakes that passes for Thai electrical wiring without getting electrocuted. My guess is it was learned behavior after seeing some who were a bit too curious.
