It was me who uploaded the masked guy pic back on page 6. I got it from webshots. It was titled "Lopburi Nov 27-28, 2004" along with many other pics of the monkey's feasting. The info on the festival was from: http://www.khaosanroad.com/monkey_festival.htm

These pics have the same label -- Lopburi Nov 27-28 2004. Pretty sure the masked guy was taken at the festival.

It should be amusing if the teams go in with the monkeys. According the info in the website, tourists are given a long bamboo stick for self-defense against the aggressively curious monkeys. I hope the Double D's are still in the race at that time!!!  :lolCX:

It's the Prang Sam Yod:

I know I shouldn't pick  :lolCX: but this info is back on page 6.

"If you can't make it to Lopburi during festival season, the city is well worth the 3-hour train ride from Bangkok (through Ayutthaya). Prang Sam Yot, a Khmer temple located just north of the train station, is the centre of activity.

A 30 baht entrance fee includes the loan of a long bamboo stick for self-defense against aggresively curious primates. This allows tourists to play Indiana Jones for an afternoon, exploring the solemn stone temple and it's crumbling Buddhas. All the while, the fearless creatures won't hesitate to climb onto their unsuspecting spectators. These monkeys are said to have been a gift to the town centuries ago, when Hanuman the Monkey King was granted rule of the area by the mythic Hindu figure Rama."
