Amusing footage shows two monkeys climbing all over a tourist while he tries to take pictures at the Angkor Thom temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia, on Wednesday, August 30.

The ancient Hindu stone monuments inside the Angkor Archaeological Park were used in the Tomb Raider movies but some have since been overrun with wild primates.

Angkor was the site of the ancient Khmer Empire which ruled large swathes of Southeast Asia and much of neighbouring Thailand before the kingdom moved its powerbase further south to capitalise on maritime links in the 15th century.

To this day, the spectacular monuments and glorious culture remain the envy of surrounding countries - more advanced than anything that has been seen since.
