Aggressive Angkor Wat Monkeys Get Relocated

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

My first apartment in Phnom Penh was just off the riverside near Wat Phnom. I can tell you from experience that living around Macaques might be pleasing and amusing at first but that doesn't last long. I had a big chain link cage around my roof and balcony, and I tried to keep it secure. A gang of monkeys would sleep around midday in the gap between that cage I lived in and the awning above. They were always trying to get in, and sometimes succeeded. They would fuck up everything. They stole food, clothes and anything they couldn't eat they just destroyed, like plants for example. I hated the fuckers. They were scared of airsoft guns though, which were banned around then. :twisted:
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Yeah, I don't think I would want them on my balcony either. If I do get an invasion, I have a plan.
