Clever and creepy at the same time, "monkey forest tourist" strikes at the essence of tourist—the language of disorientation, a clash of wealth and poverty, and predictably stupid behavior. This actuality from Southeast Asia features tourists among the Balinese Macaques at the Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.

  • There is several sites (countryside parks) in Hongkong , and the population of those flithy macaque is similar or more., and I dont think I would ever go there again without suitable self defense items ...one invention I saw is some clever victims treat thing with botltle filled with concentrated acids for their prize of robbing...

    THEY DO CARRY SOME KNOWN DISEASES WHICH ARE HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS/ LETHAL...ONE day the govt should eradicate them like they do to chick farm for BIRD FLU. DEADLY!,,,,

  • they're little scavengers

  • Oh man I so would've punched the shit out of that little bastard at 3:27

  • you probably were doing something to irritate them. Just because your there doesn't mean they have to be sociable just for you. These are wild animals not some cutsy cuddly toy. But you hate the monkeys now. What kind of mature individual are you and you probably did a good job of passing this hate of monkeys to your kid. SHAME!!!!

  • lol

  • Those mean monkeys hissed and chased my 7 year old daughter until a monkey trainer came and shooed him away. I was pinched (really hard) by a stupid monkey in Batu Caves 2 yrs before...needless to say, we fear and hate the monkey!

  • Man monkeys are soo cute, I want a pet monkey, and I'll train it to attack people that are mean :P and It will wear a cape, because it's cool

  • I saw one of the monkeys in the clip took a bite on a person's arm for no reason. I guess it must of been a nasty monkey!

  • yer there not very nice (or clean)...some have rabies

  • why did a monkey bit your uncle? is it because those monkeys get nasty?
