5. Laugh at some cheeky monkeys

on Thursday, October 30, 2008

mThe animal kingdom in Bali is still quite impressing. Monkeys still live freely and you are able to spot them in the wild. There are several places in Bali where you can see the monkeys, but most famous is the Monkey Forest in Ubud.

The Monkey Forest is the home of hundreds long-tailed macaques and the forest is a beautiful place to see. There are no gates, so you can already spot the monkeys on the streets of Ubud.

Right before the entrance you can buy some bananas. This is a fun thing to do, but please not that the monkeys can be a bit aggressive in grabbing those bananas. So if you're scared, just watch other people feeding the monkeys.

The macaques are quite funny; watch them playing around or acting crazy, but please don't bother them. You're the guest in their home, so they can be really angry when you're disturbing them.

Make sure you bring a camera, because there can be some funny situations, but please watch out for your camera and other materials. Some monkeys can be little criminals and there are many tourists who have lost their (expensive) jewellery or glasses there.
