Inside out

The difference here is that it's the monkeys who are on the outside and the humans are on the inside.

This is a photo looking out from inside the Phra Prang Sam Yod shrine, the most famous spot in Lopburi. It is completely overrun with monkeys.

Most of the local shop owners have two metre poles with rubber flails on the end. When the primates get too annoying, the folks run around like madmen, swinging their poles and scattering simians.
