The River Kwai and Kanchanaphuri Tiger Temple~

This was one of the longest and furthest destination we travelled while our stay in BKK. First it was River Kwai, where it was famous for the brutal killings and slavery by (i forgot which country) of P.O.Ws. It isnt anythign much today except that it was full with stores for tourist and stuff. But it did felt good to visit such a place where history took place.
Next it was Kanchanaphuri where my friend told me that the tigers roam freely around the temple. I did saw this on discovery and i really wanted to visit. But, ahha i think i was just too afriad to touch them and or leave all my gears around as there was strict dresscodes and stuff for you to touch them.

Yours Truely

Still Life in Kanchanaphuri Tiger Temple.

Love of men and beasts.

Hope you noticed there wasnt any cages of any sort of restraint between you and the tigers. It was said that they are fed meat without the stench of blood, which curbs their hunger to hunt livestock or humans. I dont know whether my facts are correct, but it was really fun to see a tiget up close, minus all the walking under the hot sun.

u can travel to kanchanaphuri by train i think, but i guess its best to take or rent a car there.. there isnt much to do there except if u want to lay around in town and just chill out. its much more laid back town with nothign much to sight see except for the landscapes.
if u do travel by train over there, you will need to get a cab or bus to the temple as it is located fairl far from the city. and dont wear colourful clothings, or anythign with stripes or even sunglasses.. please check what you can wear before you travel there to avoid any delay.
