🎉 Monkeys, Mischief, and a Wedding to Remember: The Night Thailand Went Dark

It was supposed to be a perfect evening in Lopburi, Thailand — a city famous for its ancient ruins and its equally ancient residents: monkeys. The wedding of Somchai and Naree was set in a historic courtyard, lit by lanterns and surrounded by family, friends, and curious tourists. But as the sun dipped below the horizon, the jungle had other plans.

🐒 The Unexpected Guests

Just as the couple exchanged vows, a troop of macaques descended from the temple walls. At first, it was charming — monkeys perched on ledges, watching the ceremony like enchanted spectators. But then came the mischief.

One monkey snatched a floral garland. Another grabbed a tray of mango sticky rice. Within minutes, the wedding turned into a chaotic buffet raid. Guests screamed, laughed, and scrambled to protect their belongings. A monkey leapt onto the DJ booth, accidentally cutting the power.

🌑 The Blackout

The lights flickered, then died. The entire block went dark. The monkeys had tripped a transformer while swinging from the power lines — a feat of acrobatics that plunged the celebration into candlelight. The bride, unfazed, lit a sparkler and raised it high. “We’re still married,” she laughed. “Even if the jungle doesn’t approve.”

💌 A Night to Remember

The power outage lasted two hours. In that time, guests danced to acoustic guitar, shared stories by lantern glow, and fed the monkeys leftover fruit to keep them calm. The couple took their first dance surrounded by flickering flames and furry silhouettes.

By morning, the incident had gone viral. “Monkey Wedding Blackout” trended across Thai social media. The city promised to reinforce electrical lines near temples. And Somchai and Naree became local legends — the couple who got married under the stars, with monkeys as their mischievous witnesses.
