Alexander has been trying all the local specialities - fried frog wasn't a favourite though!!!


Erawan National Park - beautiful!


Erawan Waterfall...


...where the fish feed on the farangs (western tourists)!


Market in Kanchanaburi - another local favourite...


We visited many caves in the area, but this was by far the narrowest - down on your knees and crawl!!!


...nice inside though...


A new monk being inaugurated - party, live music and dancing on the streets:

Many other animals live free-roaming at the tiger temple where they are fed and cared for, like these buffalo:

The rafts - a paradise in the jungle:




Drinks at the waterfall:
