A special concert was put on by a British artist and pianist to relieve stress among the monkeys of Lopburi in central Thailand.

 

Fifty nine year old Paul Barton's piano playing was a hit with the monkeys and the locals after he was brought in by an auto parts shop.

 

He drew quite a crowd as the monkeys played along to the tunes. Some even nodded off to the melodies. 

 

Mr Barton is a resident of Bangkok and has a Thai wife called Khwan according to his Facebook page that says he studied Fine Art at the Royal Academy of Arts, London.

 

In the past he has also played piano for fierce and blind elephants to relieve their stress.

Monkeys reacting to a piano makes a difference to the populous reacting to the PM's tune.

The populous are finally waking up.

If the monkeys had jobs picking coconuts and fruits, or pick-pocketing tourists, they wouldn't be so stressed.  ????
