Long-tailed macaques rest after eating at the Pra Prang Sam Yot temple during the annual Monkey Buffet Festival in Lopburi, 94 miles north of Bangkok, Nov. 28. The festival provides food and drinks to the local monkey population, which numbers more than 2,000, to thank them for drawing tourists to the town.
