Monkeys enjoy the annual buffet festival staged for them at Phra Prang Sam Yot in Lop Buri. A macaque attacked and injured local woman Arikanta Kanchanasinmetha, in Lop Buri, on March 6, as it attempted to take her food. Atthapol Charoenchansa, the DNP director-general, told officials to visit the injured woman in Lop Buri to assess her injuries. The macaque population in Lop Buri was 5,709 at the end of last year, Mr Atthapol said recently, including 2,206 in the municipality. She was sent to Lop Buri Hospital by rescue volunteers and discharged.
