Wow, love your photos – especially the one with the mother and baby against her chest.I’ve visited the Monkey Temple in Ubud twice. Once in 1983 and then in 2009. It’s a fascinating place, and both times the monkeys were over friendly – to put it mildly! It can of course be very funny and you can get some awesome photos (as yours are – amazing!)but I wouldn’t take children with me for fear of their perhaps getting bitten. Not sure I’d jump to go back again for a third time either.

In reply to Jackie Smith. haha Jackie! I remember the apes in Gibralter, and if I remember correctly, they were not too aggressive.

In reply to Tonya. Hi Tonya, I'm not a big monkey fan. These ones were just too cute to resist!

In reply to budget jan. Jan, I'm sure they have been and always will be cheeky. As tourism has increase in Bali, they have probably gotten worse.

In reply to denise. Denise, I have never fed them. I would say it's not for the "faint of heart"!

In reply to Marisol. Yes, moms and babies not so aggressive, so I was able to get fairly close. A lot of them are really bad, though. You have to be careful!
