Backpacker left in shock spotting cheeky monkey chugging from her water bottle

A British backpacker has shared the shock moment she looked out of a hotel room window to find a monkey on the balcony, chugging water from her bottle.

After he was done, the monkey quickly scurried away as if nothing had happened.
