In the middle of the forest, there is a pool where you can see the Monkeys take a bath and play with water together. Not like at Sangeh, The monkeys at Ubud forest is very good, not like to steal guests sunglasses or cameras. They only watch if the tourists are generous and bring bananas for them. At other Monkey Forest at Sangeh, Monkeys are very clever and naughty, they like to stole tourists sunglasses, cameras, or wallets and only intent to give them back in exchanges with bananas.
In the middle of Monkey Forest in Ubud, there is a beautiful Temple with some statues of Bali's Gods that believed as the guard of this area. Some statues look like dragon, turtle, frog and snail. There is also a temporary cemetery of members of Ubud Villages, where the bodies of them are laid before they are burned in Ngaben, a Hindu's Traditional ritual for dead people.

The most interesting thing to do when visiting Monkey Forest at Ubud is we can see the monkeys playing each others at the Temple, and also taking a bath and playing with water at the pool in front of the Temple. They look very funny and happy.
