Thousands of monkeys invaded a Buddhist temple in Myanmar on Saturday because they wanted to shelter from the rain.

While monkeys regularly live around the Buddhist temple at Mount Popa in Myanmar, during the heavy monsoon season they seek shelter inside, according to filmer Nicholas Warner.

Warner said that the entire floor of the temple became covered in monkey pee and "occasional piles of monkey poop."

"Unfortunately for us, rules forbid you from wearing shoes or socks on the way up those 777 temple steps," Warner said.

While monkeys regularly live around the buddhist temple at Mount Popa in Myanmar, during the heavy monsoon season they seek shelter inside. This day had particularly heavy rain and the temple attracted thousands of monkeys looking to stay dry.

To reach the monastery you need to climb 777 stairs, but on this day, with thousands of monkeys seeking shelter, they become covered in monkey pee and occasional piles of monkey poop. Unfortunately for us, rules forbid you from wearing shoes or socks on the way up those 777 temple steps.
