#24 - Monkey Town

This afternoon before heading to Bangkok, we stopped at Monkey Town, where three gangs of monkeys run amuck in a small town.  One has occupied a temple ruin, the other the local market across the street, and I'm not sure where the other gang hangs.  When we stepped off the bus and local woman greeted us and escorted us into the temple.  From what Patty tells us the gangs never cross paths and when they do a fight break outs.  Each gang is taken care of by the local people, so they don't steal food, but they do steal hats, sunglasses, earrings or anything on you they fancy. 

Here are some images from the temple.  The people in the pictures are from our tour group.
