Thailand

Lopburi

Here they've literally taken over the city. Legend has it that, protected by living in the temple, they cannot be controlled. The town feels barred against them. Street food stalls, ubiquitous in Southeast Asia, are absent here. Another local story, at least apocryphal, tells of a peanut vendor from out of town. Noticing no other stalls, she immediately opened one in Lopburi. A macaque came over for a peanut and she threw a stone out at it. Soon, a whole troop of macaques returned and attacked here. Locals also say that the macaques will, for fun, board the train and ride North, towards Chiang Mai and the rainforests, but they'll never board the train to ride South towards Bangkok.
