    The Wider Image: No more monkey mania in Thai town

    Long-tailed macaques drink water from taps which are specifically provided for them near Phra Prang Sam Yot temple, as officials start capturing monkeys in Lopburi, Thailand, June 7, 2024. Before COVID-19 shut Lopburi, some of its 58,000 residents casually fed the 3,000 long-tailed macaques that lived alongside and even threw an annual fruit banquet for them, drawing tourists to "Monkey City", a three-hour drive north of Bangkok. The macaques, believed to bring good fortune, also inhabit nearby forests and have long been a part of the city's history. But after Lopburi came out of the pandemic lockdown in mid-2022, its residents found that the monkeys, without people feeding them, had become unruly. REUTERS/Chalinee Thirasupa

    ABOUT QUEWS

    We are a news service born out of a global loss of confidence in media and destabilising polarisation of attitudes. We believe it is possible, indeed necessary, to create a public forum where vital issues of the day are discussed, debated, analysed and circulated.
