    The Wider Image: Thai town emerges from monkey mania after

    Jirat Buapromart, 54, carries a toy gun and a slingshot, which he uses to keep long-tailed macaques away, before officials started capturing monkeys in Lopburi, Thailand, February 3, 2024. After Lopburi came out of the pandemic lockdown in mid-2022, its residents found that local monkeys, without people feeding them, had become unruly. "We have to cage ourselves inside, we have no freedom even on the premises of our own homes," said Buapromart. "They are ready to steal anything they can from us." REUTERS/Chalinee Thirasupa
