Thai people believe that keeping monkeys happy brings good luck. So every year there's a day on which they have a special treat for monkeys called the Annual Monkey Feast. Hundreds of monkeys come from themountains to "sit at" long buffet tables which are piled high with bananas, peanuts, watermelons and cabbage.
Monkeys will be monkeys. So they fool around and fights break out. But nobody seems to care. Neither dothe monkeys. They just stare back at the crowds of people who turn out to watch them. Then they continue tomonkey around and have a good time.
