The best part was, HOW DARE YOU??? to bargain a smartphone with the banana... Monkey got the imported KitKat chocolate bar and left the phone...😁
Sometimes the barter goes a bit different. At that very spot in Bali I once saw a monkey snatch some expensive glasses from a dude much like in this video, and when a Balinese guy came to offer it a banana, the monkey took it with one hand while holding the glasses in the other. Then it thought for a moment, realised it needed the other hand to peel the banana, took one last look at the glasses and tossed them right off that cliff into the ocean. That was one long and spectacular fall, everyone was laughing. The guy who owned the glasses tried to laugh along but you could tell how much he was mourning his loss.
The best part is the camera crew knowing someone is about to be jacked, and rather than warn them of the threat they zoom in on the shot
This shows me that organized crime has been around since before we evolved into humans.
...and we are looking for aliens to come from the sky 😂 🤦
that is not bargaining! that is ransoming!
They are not really bartering. They are just taking your things and asking you to pay for it. They are lucky they aren’t getting prosecuted for kidnapping and ransoms!
They could make an animated movie out of this 😂
Old mate has ascended to the title of Godfather. Running his own little monkey mafia 😆 Respect!
What's scary that they didn't show is that they work in teams. I had to have my prescription glasses on or else I couldn't see but I was warned so I was careful not to have any monkey in my vicinity. Unfortunately, certain part of the area is just a narrow stairway, so I was on alert, as a monkey swing down from the tree in front of me, I dodge away, a monkey from behind snatched my glasses away. I didn't think it was preventable in that situation, fortunately I was able to get it back through bartering, though it was slightly damaged :( .
This is insane.. an actual monkey mafia.
I was there, lost a pair of shades and a tube of sunscreen myself. I didn't give them anything, so they break the shades, twisted it like a pretzel, and throw it away. Could be worse, I saw a Korean girl losing her brand new, top of the line smartphone down the cliffs. No ransoming that one back. There was also an Indian mom choked while getting her necklace yanked off. The chain was too strong, both fortunately and unfortunately.
I'm not sure that's bartering, more like ransoming. They are literally stealing & holding the items to ransom! They seem to study what is most precious to the humans! 😅
What happens when they figure out you can steal money and go to a store and buy food. Worldwide monkey crime syndicate.

My father once brought my mum a very rare watch he got it from a monkey... I found it hard to believe until I saw this
The one eating the Pringles at the end, really made me giggle :)
As a monke I can confirm this is what we do for living
Other people: “Oh, that’s so cute! It took someone’s stuff and it wants to trade!”
"I don't care about your smartphone, give me a chocolate bar and we're good."
