10 days in Vietnam - The Best of the North!

Exploring Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta, and the Cu Chi Tunnels was incredible…

Not compared to the North!

Is Sangeh Monkey Forest the best place to see monkeys in Bali?

After navigating the chaos of Ubud Monkey Forest and dodging a few cheeky monkey grab-attacks, I was curious to see if there was a calmer, more peaceful place to observe Bali’s famous long-tailed macaques.

I’d heard whispers from locals and fellow travellers that Sangeh Monkey Forest was the real hidden gem, a quieter, and more serene spot, and home to friendlier monkeys.

Naturally, I had to see it for myself.

So off I went to explore Sangeh, in search of a more relaxed (and hopefully less mischievous) monkey encounter.
