Where you'll be
From Passprt Community
- It’s best to avoid keeping small items like sunglasses, hats, or snacks in your hands, as the monkeys can be quite curious and might grab them.
- Keep your bag securely closed, since the monkeys are clever enough to unzip pockets if they catch a scent of food.
- The temple inside the forest is a serene spot; dressing modestly shows respect for its cultural and spiritual significance.
- Visiting earlier in the morning often means a quieter atmosphere, with the monkeys generally calmer too.
- Monkeys can sometimes interpret direct eye contact as a challenge, so it’s best to simply observe them in a relaxed way.
- Bringing a water bottle is a good idea, but keeping it tucked safely in your bag prevents unwanted attention from the monkeys.
