It was all monkey business in Thailand's Lopburi on Sunday as working macaque monkeys took a load off to relax at the Monkey Banquet Festival at the city’s Phra Prang Sam Yot shrine. Monkeys went bananas at the annual festival, which is organised by locals to reward the long-tail macaque monkeys who bring tourism to the area. The event was attended by hundreds of people, some in disbelief at just how cheeky the monkeys could be. Of course, there was plenty of monkeying around. The festival went ahead despite the fact that the country is in mourning for the King of Thailand Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died aged 88 at Bangkok's Siriraj Hospital on Thursday, October 13.

The first batch of travellers arrive at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport as Thailand reboots its tourism industry after 18 months of Covid curbs. The coronavirus pandemic hammered the kingdom's tourism-reliant economy, which last year saw its worst performance since the 1997 Asian financial crisis with arrivals down more than 80 percent. Thai authorities have given the green light to vaccinated tourists from more than 60 "low-risk" countries to skip hotel quarantine -- providing the sector a much-needed lifeline. IMAGES
