Temples and monkey tour - Today we saw the several ancient temples in Ayutthaya. The tour guide, Piya, was both entertaining and informative. This guy has a lot of energy! Our next stop was Lopburi to see the monkeys. This town was previously overrun by monkeys, though they have taken great steps in which to control them. Learned there was a “monkey jail“ that they have outside of town. There are still many monkeys near the Hindu temple at the center of town and the surrounding businesses. Again the tour guide, Piya, was clearly known by all the monkeys. He had a special connection with them and knowledge of the different “monkey gangs.“ This was clearly why I signed up for this tour and was the high point. This is a full day tour and you really get your moneys worth!

Great experience, would recommend - Joyce was a great tour guide constantly giving us information along the way. During our tour, he bought food that we used to feed the monkeys, brought us to a local stall for delicious Thai pancakes and took lots of photos of us. I highly recommend this tour and look for Joyce!
