WOW!

Kanchanaburi is, as always, amazing... even though we've only been here a day and have to leave tomorrow for Chiang Mai :(

Today we managed to go elephant trekking and then go in the river and bathe the elephants! Fantastic experience.. and bloody hilarious. For some reason my elephant was a diver! He just kept diving sideways into the water at random intervals! Shortie was laughing so hard until we had a minor elephant crash and hers started diving too! It's hard to stay on a diving elephant when you're laughing so hard you might cry!

The trekking was hilarious as well, because our guide was a crazy Burmese man who kept singing 'The lion sleeps tonight' and taking photos of the elephant weeing! (Be grateful I didn't post that!) He was an awesome guide! Let us sit on the actual elephant for some parts of the trek, which they don't usually let you do (usually you have to sit on the seat on the back of the elephant) - I can see why they don't usually let you! It's SO hard to balance.. I was bloody scared at some points, especially downhill!

After that we went to the Tiger temple because Shortie hadn't been before and I loved it last time. It was really good again, plus this time we got to see some 3 month year old cubs (obviously they weren't there when I went in Sept!)

Shortie was walking along with one of the tigers when they were taking them back out of the main canyon, and it got a bit feisty so she had to help the workers there keep hold of him! Go on the Short one.. she's a toughy!

So absolutely epic day, and it didn't stop there.. got back, rented bikes and hit the night market :)

Busy busy busy, and only a week left in Thailand for me :(

Off to Chiang Mai tomorrow where we'll probably catch up with some friends we made in Bangkok last week.. then Oz!

Hope everyone's well and not working too hard.. hehe x
