We slept here on a rafthouse the first night in Kanchanaburi. The photo was taken at 5 am, because we had to wake up really early to catch the bus to Sai Yok National Park. If you've ever heard of "The Bridge Over the River Kwai," this is the River Kwai.
hahaha. Welcome to Thailand.
Somehow we found this really nice place to stay on the river in Sai Yok National Park for really cheap. This is probably the nicest it gets, and it was on a raft on the river (same one, just further north).
We stumbled across a bat cave, but this one is not just an ordinary cave. The smallest mammals (smallest bats) in the world live in this cave, and here are some (maybe??). It's pretty difficult to take a picture in a cave.
We went to the Tiger Temple. It's supposed to be a rehabilitation center for tigers, but there have been rumors of the charity's illegitimacy. I think it's more of a tourist money grabber than anything, and all the tigers are chained up. Maybe I am just not really a fan of animals in captivity, but it was fun to pet the tigers.
More to come later.
wow, that's pretty wild to pet a tiger...
