    No I wasn't staying here. But I thought it was a nice picture. Views[281] White sand beaches on after a rainy night. Views[346] Stephen returning from his elephant trek through the centre of Koh Chang island. Views[1511] My attempt to photograph the terrain that I had to climb up and down to get to the waterfall (every waterfall I have been to so far has been difficult to get to). Views[327] I walked to the Khlong Phlu Waterfall in the middle of Koh Chang island. Views[434]
     
    Invitation for bets using frantic gesticulation to indicate odds Views[301] Action-shot Views[1879] Thai kickboxing at Lumpini Stadium, Bangkok. Views[590] Me stroking one of the big cats. Views[614] Me stroking the sleepy tigers. Views[480]
     
    Another tiger (and me). Views[410] Tigers sleeping on the rocks. Views[9287] Me petting a tiger's tummy as it streches out. Views[880] Walking one of the bigger cats. Views[405] Views[338]
     
    One of the more dangerous tigers which we were warned not to get too close to. Views[500] Tiger attempting to climb a tree. Views[582] One of the fiesty tiger cubs playing/fighting with one of the older tigers. Views[1338] Tiger enjoying me scratching its back. Views[753] My first attempt at stroking a tiger (a slightly fearful smile whilst thinking....take the picture quickly!) Views[540]
     
    This is the teak house in which we stayed with a Thai family for a night. It was sheer luxury. Views[366] The Chinese temple opposite Nonthaburi market. Views[824] People queuing eager to make donations at the chinese Temple opposite the Nonthaburi market. Views[312] Frogs with their guts hanging out. (This is what I had eaten as dinner a few days earlier, but cooked.) Views[1016] The hustle and bustle of the local market in Nonthaburi. Views[300]
     
    Me swimming at Step 3. I had to keep moving constantly to keep the little fishes from nibbling on me. Views[255] The little fishes that swim at the bottom of each waterfall. These little fellas nibble on you as soon as you step into the waterfall. Views[316] Step 7 of the Erawan Waterfalls. We were dripping with sweat by the time we reached this point. Views[264] Step 6 of the Erawan Waterfalls. Views[282] And finally there. But blinked in photo! Views[268]
     
    Nearly there. Views[253] Step 5 of the Waterfalls. Me attempting to carefully climb out on to the ledge (he rocks were incredibly slippery) for a photo. Views[319] Step 4 of the Erawan Waterfalls. Views[327] Not a numbered Step, but I liked the lines created by the falling water here. Views[228] Step 3 of the Erawan Waterfalls. Views[220]
     
    Step 2 of the Erawan Waterfalls. Views[332] Step 1 of the Erawan Waterfalls. The waterfalls have 7 steps (which become increasingly more difficult to reach as you progress further up). Views[232] Bridge over the River Kwai. Nothing special really, but made famous by the Oscar-winning film 'Bridge overthe River Kwai'(sp?). Views[299] WWII cemetery. Views[278] A rickshaw tour of Kanchanaburi Views[351]
     
    Views from a train riding along the Death Railway that still operates. Views[301] Views from part of the Death Railway that still operates. Views[276] Part of the Death Railway track within Hellfire Pass. Views[672] An elevated view of Hellfire Pass, constructed as part of the Death Railway during World War II. Over 100,000 prisoners of war and asian labourers died at the hands of the Japanese during the making of the Railway (which had been thought to be impossible to construct). The audiotour of this area really made evident the extent of suffering to which the labourers at went through. Views[358] For dinner I ordered grilled frog. It was a whole frog: legs, head and all. Views[342]
     
    A dorian fruit being cut open for us to taste. I quite enjoyed it. But apparently the dorian is banned from many hotels because once it ripens it smells awful (i.e. like shit). Views[497] A group of police officers playing a variation of volleyball, using anything except hands. Thai people are supposedly very good at this game. Views[271] Martin dripping with sweat after completing the climb to the top of the hill. Views[242] The buddha in the temple at the top of the hill. Views[269] A few of us chse to climb up a steep hill to see the temple at the top. Exhausting climb, but the monks have to do this every morning in order to receive their food. Views[330]
