Thousands of residents living on the eight islets that compose the Cham Islands in the central province of Quang Nam have found themselves dealing daily with the threat of monkey hordes.
Constantly rushing from the forest, the monkeys of the Cham Islands are noisy, steal from local households, and attack local residents.
In one particular instance last month, a group of people having lunch in front of a local homestay were attacked by a troop of monkeys which invaded the kitchen, smashed a rice cooker, and stole bags of fruit.

For over four decades, Nguyen Van Cong has been transforming ordinary garden shrubs into beautiful works of art.
Cong, better known as Nam Cong, works out of his garden in Ben Tre Province’s Cho Lach District, where lately he’s been busy trimming weeping fig plants to resemble buffalo in honor this year’s zodiac animal.
While Tet – the Vietnamese Lunar New Year – is typically Nam Cong’s busiest time of year, business has been slow over the past few months due to the COID-19 pandemic.
