I have. My first apartment here was near Wat Phnom and there were loads of monkeys around at the time. I was near the river and the place I lived in was one of the only places nearby at the time that had a big metal awning over it. So this crowd of monkeys would meander around the neighborhood, crossing streets on overhead wires and stealing shit everywhere they went. Then they'd get to my place and just chill under the shade till the afternoon heat went down. So my whole 10 X 5 meter balcony was covered in chain-link mesh, top and sides - it made me laugh because it seemed like an aviary or zoo-cage but but I was inside! It was tough to try and keep it monkey-proof, they are clever! They stole clothes off my line, destroyed loads of potted plants and were generally a nuisance. There's nothing like the feeling when you're chilling out at home and suddenly notice a pit-bull sized monkey sitting a foot behind you. This one used to flake out on the roof every day, I think he was a junkie. I have pictures of young monkeys sucking on syringes if anyone is interested.
