Tourists are warned to remove and stow anything on their selves such as glasses and jewelry that they can. The monkeys definitely zone in on anything shiny. I got accosted for a water bottle.

I found the critters extremely annoying and unavoidable, and they are to be found in many places, not just this temple.

Part of the charm?!
