Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on Friday opened the King Narai Reign Fair in Lopburi province, an annual event to celebrate the life of King Narai the Great (1632-1688), the 27th king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom who pioneered foreign diplomatic policies.

Crab-eating macaques from Lopburi province’s old city area will be repatriated as part of a plan to reduce their population and make the neighbourhood more liveable.
