“We live in a cage but the monkeys live outside,” Lopburi local Kuljira Taechawattanawanna said. Taechawattanawanna went on to say that she has had to cover her terrace to prevent the mob from raiding her home in search of food. Lopburi has had to establish several no-go zones throughout the city, as some of these areas have been taken over by warring rival monkey gangs. At first the locals attempted to keep the animals at bay by providing them with junk food, but that plan backfired and seemed to only make the monkeys more violent.
