Many tourists from around the world loves Thailand. A tropical country of rich cultural heritage, majestic beaches, and friendly people, Thailand is a destination meant to please especially that you don’t need to have heaps of money to enjoy the place.
However, more to the beaches and the night-life of Pattaya, there is an interesting festival that attracts tourists in Thailand—The Monkey Buffet Festival celebrated annually on the 25th of November in the sleepy, ancient town of Lopburi.
Lopburi, also dubbed as the “Monkey City” is a popular travel destination for its laid back atmosphere. It is one of the oldest cities in Thailand, founded by King Kalavarnadish over a thousand years ago. Lopburi played an important role during the Khmer Empire. It also became home to the Thai ruler, King Narai the Great, cementing a great significance in the Thai history.
More to its heritage, what sets Lopburi apart is the numerous crab-eating macaques in the city’s Old Town. These monkeys are plenteous in the Phra Prang Sam Yot and Phra Kaan Shrine, and there is even an amusement park where tourists can buy snacks for these monkeys.
Last year, there were millions of international tourist arrivals across the globe. Whether they were students on their (1)______ years looking for overseas adventure, stressed-out workers hoping to get away for a weekend, or retirees (2)_______ to relax in an exotic locationclearly none of them thought they could find the same experience at home. The question is whether foreign travel brings more advantages or disadvantages.
An obvious positive point is that going abroad sometimes helps people to expand their knowledge of the world. If they are (4)_____ minded, they can learn about new cultures and hopefully gain a more accurate understanding about their way of life. In addition, there is the economic benefit of tourism to countries which have few other resources. It can provide an income to many people within the industry.
Having said that, some people simply go to a foreign resort (4)______ by high walls and therefore learn little about their holiday (5)_______ . Another issue is that hordes of tourists often spoil the “unspoilt” places they visit. The most recent example of this is Antarctica, where last year cruise ships took thousands of visitors to view the disappearing icebergs and wildlife. Vegetation, nesting penguins and resting walrus are vulnerable when humans intrude.
