Starving monkeys took over an abandoned town hall looking for food during a drought.<br /><br />The building was left abandoned after the provincial government moved to a new building 300ft away in Prachuab Khiri Khan, central Thailand.<br /><br />However, there were some state agencies remaining at the building after that but they had to move away because of the monkeys.<br /><br />Footage from Wednesday (March 18) shows the deserted building invaded by hungry monkeys from the jungle behind. <br /><br />The monkeys are believed to have gone looking for food as the area is suffering from a drought that caused a food shortage. There has not been significant rain fall for several months in large parts of Thailand.<br /><br />Several areas and the building under construction were damaged by the monkeys.<br /><br />One of the locals who came to the town hall said: "Every vehicles that parked in the outdoor parking lot were all damaged by the monkeys, they always scratch and pull the side mirrors."<br /><br />The authority has not yet taken any action to get rid of the monkeys, instead leaving them inside their new home.
