Definitely on most top 10 lists of strangest festivals in the world, the Monkey Buffet Festival in Lopburi, Thailand celebrates the city’s most relentless and warmly looked upon pests. Lopburi’s population of macaque monkeys are well known for their fearsome appetites, stealing snacks from anyone who may leave some morsels unattended. The city residents decided the best way to deal with their pesky monkey population was to embrace them, and so began the yearly Monkey Buffet Festival. During this festival, monkeys are invited to the Pra Prang Sam Yot temple to enjoy their favorite foods like bananas, peanuts and much more. With over 2,000 kg of fruits and vegetables used for the feast, it is surely the highlight of these monkeys’ year. Some of the treats are even encased in blocks of ice to give the monkeys some entertainment before their treat.

Grand Palace :: Bangkok, Thailand

November 22, 2022 by Chris Blecha Leave a Comment

The Kingdom of Siam was known for its great excesses. One of the greatest symbols of this excess and power is The Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand. Standing tall and proud for over two centuries, this magnificent behemoth structure was constructed at the behest of King Rama I in 1782 when he moved the capital of Siam from Thonburi to Bangkok. Serving as the official home to the monarchy since its construction, the reigning King Bhumibol Adulyadej (aka King Rama IX) actually resides in the near by Chitralada Palace due to The Grand Palace’s massive appeal to visitors. In fact, close to five million people a year tour this miniature walled city to see its beautiful gilded architecture, intricate carved decorations, and fantastic statues depicting both the mythical and the divine.
