Wild onion dinners mark the turn of the season in Native American regions in the US.
Monkeys are caged on a truck after being trapped in Lopburi Province, north of Bangkok on May 24, 2024. - AP
There was early success for the catchers on one street, with three of the macaques falling for the ruse and ending up trapped because they had fancied a taste of rambutan fruit. The cages had been placed on the street earlier in the week so the monkeys got used to them and found them less threatening.
The roaming monkeys have long been a symbol of the town, 140km north of Bangkok, and are a major tourist draw. They've become increasingly aggressive, however, with several videos of them snatching food from residents and causing injuries being widely shared online. The town’s mayor, Chamroen Salacheep, agrees that the monkeys, while bringing in visitors, have also become bad for trade, with shops and malls seeing a drop in income and even people’s homes damaged. Lopburi, he said, is almost an"abandoned town.”
