Temple full of monkeys

Lopburi is the town where thousands longtail macaques determine life in the city.
They roam the city's streets uninhibited and have been known to crap on people from above before, apparently, stealing their smokes. Believed to have descended from Hanuman, a monkey king from Hindu scripture, the macaques are thought to bring good luck to the city's residents.
This herd of the monkeys I captured in front of the famous Prang Sam Yot, the Khmer temple before they got interested in my belongings.
Macaques are known to steal like ravens.
