    The Wider Image: No more monkey mania in Thai town

    Supaporn Reanprayoorn, 38, a shopkeeper at Chayovanich, which is located opposite of the Phra Prang Sam Yot temple, hugs her favourite long-tailed macaque, known as 'Sweet,' inside her shop, as officials start capturing monkeys in Lopburi, Thailand, June 5, 2024. For some, Lopburi and its monkeys are inseparable. "Monkeys are part of Lopburi's identity," said Reanprayoorn, who runs a store near a temple where monkeys often gathered. She sometimes gave them snacks. "Let tourists take pictures with them - just a hundred or two." REUTERS/Chalinee Thirasupa
