Why route around it

What makes it worth the stop

  • Decorated fruit and vegetable displays for the town's macaques
  • Elaborate ice sculptures and decorated banquet tables
  • Set against the 13th-century Khmer-style Phra Prang Sam Yot

Plan the stop

Practical notes

  1. About 2.5 h north of Bangkok by train — an easy day trip
  2. Keep a tight grip on bags, glasses and phones — the monkeys are bold
  3. Don't carry food openly; the macaques will grab it
