Monkey Buffet Festival – Thailand

Every November in Lopburi, Thailand, the local monkeys are treated to a massive feast—literally. The Monkey Buffet Festival lays out over two tons of fruits, vegetables, and desserts for the city’s macaque population. Monkeys climb over elaborate fruit towers, fight over pineapples, and feast like kings while humans cheer them on.

The event began as a way to attract tourists and honor the monkeys believed to bring good fortune. Today, it’s a full-blown festival complete with music, dance, and monkey-themed costumes. Of course, the monkeys often run wild, stealing food and jumping on guests—but that’s part of the fun. Equal parts adorable and anarchic, it’s a true WTF celebration.
