Saw a bunch of monkeys around Ankgor Wat. Look for them under the trees near the entrance. I don't know if its the same guy but I remember seeing this monkey too and he sure does eat a lot! hahahahah

That guy somehow gave this ancient place a different tone. It's like walking back in time. This doesn't take away the fact that the Khmer Empire was the most advanced civilization of their time.
