The Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi was quite the experience! In the picture I've included with this post, the tiger looks quite lively and ready for action, but this was not the case for the other tigers. There were many, and you are brought to each of them by a worker or volunteer from the temple as they take your photo with them. It was very cool, but it was really hot, and these were the laziest tigers I've ever seen (not that I've seen tigers really being lively, considering I've only seen them in zoo's), but this was still pretty cool.
This tiger (pictured) was quite the little guy. He was just a cub, and had an attitude as if he was a teenager. The monk who cared for him, would turn his back to him, and this little guy would take a swipe! It was really cute, but considering I was next to this tiger while this was happening made me feel uneasy.
Well that was just part of the adventure. We also got to visit the River Kwai and have a great lunch along the river. I am a very picky Canadian girl, and I think I did very well trying most things if they were put in front of me. This picture below shows off one of my favorite dishes... Can't remember the name, but it was chicken and cashews and vegetables. mmm!
The one thing from this day trip that I like to remember is the view from the top of a hill, where the Death Railway runs. (This picture, I'm standing on the railway looking down to the river). But this was my second day in Thailand, and it was a great day. Thailand is a beautiful country and I am so grateful I got to experience it.
Phil is still there, for about 10 more days, since he's been there for 5 months! It will be great to have him home, but once again, I am so glad that I was able to experience Thailand with him, even if it was for 2 & 1/2 weeks!
More to come!
