Do not Feed the Monkey
Even though the monkeys look very cute and they are looking at you in cute faces that you just cannot resist to feed them, hold on that thought. The forest is the natural habitat of the monkey and we are entering their area.
So, for the monkey, they might not please with our visit. Thus, respect them. Do not fool around with the monkey and do not feed them. Once you feed them, they will follow you around because they think you still have some more foods to feed them. This can be annoying and they can suddenly rob your belongings.
Keep Your Belonging Tight
As stated before, we are entering their area, so, they can basically do whatever they like. One of the most annoying one is fool around with our belongings, pick them up and run away with it. To avoid that, hold your belongings tightly.
The ticket to get to Ubud Monkey Forest is not expensive but if we have to lose our belongings because of the monkey, we will have to lose more money than we spend on the Ubud Monkey Forest price
