	Monkeys celebrated in Thai festival
	November 28th, 2004

A monkey eats a banana from the offerings in Lopburi, Thailand, Sunday Nov,28, 2004 during the Monkey festival. The festival has been hosted since 1989 by a local businessman who believes the monkeys were behind his family's good fortune. A total of 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds) of fruits were offered to the monkeys roaming the area (click thumbnails for larger images)

Monkeys helping out local businesses is a well known occurrence. I personally always bypass the large supermarkets such as Sainsburys and Asda to buy from my local friendly greengrocer. The shopkeeper of 'Neasden Fruit Mart' is yet to repay me in such a generous way though...
