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.
