Concerned residents are urging government agencies to provide support to monkeys residing in Lop Buri province landmarks, the Phra Kan Shrine and Phra Prang Sam Yot, after a scorching heatwave restricted the movements of its monkeys.

 

Lop Buri finds itself in the grip of an intense heatwave, with temperatures reaching a scorching 41 degrees Celsius. Residents are concerned because the intense heat has caused the monkeys to seek shelter in the shade from noon to dark. The pavements are too hot for them and their only retreat, water ponds, have dried up.

 

Over one large water pond hangs a rope ladder allowing the monkeys to climb and playfully chase each other. Last year they were able to jump, swim, and enjoy themselves in the pond from morning to dark. Other than cooling themselves off, their playful movements also entertain tourists who come to pay homage to the shrine.

 

Dozens of monkeys are now unable to access the water ponds because they’ve run dry. Now, the monkeys have to take shelter with their families under the trees, in the nearby school, or inside the Phra Prang Sam Yot.
