Cobra show and Tiger temple

Posted by admin On February - 13 - 2007

Early in the morning at 6:00am we got up for doing our full day trip to Kanchanaburi. I did it mainly for doing photos with the tiger but it seems to be a very cool tour for only 300 baht!!! After my disaster in the beginning in Thailand I know now on what I have to look. First we went to the floating market. But this time we could stay 1,5h on the market. Enough time for doing little bargains. After that we did a cruise on the Mekong river. The boat bring us to the snake farm were we watched a cobra show. Was really interesting. The snakes were fighting with a mongoose and with men. Later I did a photo with a python. Jacob was a little bit scared but I liked it. At 1:00am we had lunch what was inclusive to the trip. Then we finally got to the “Tiger temple”. Actually there was no temple anyways. Its very touristy and basically the photos with the tiger is the best of it. Its not allowed to take the photos by yourself you have to give your camera to one of the guides. And of course shit happened – my camera was on the wrong program so all my photos were overexposed. So i had to do it again…And even when it was expensive I did also the special photo with the tiger, having its head in my lap, for 1000 baht. After leaving the tiger we went to the last stop of the trip the visit of the famous bridge over the river Kwai. Was nice but Jacob and me went shopping again and bought for extreme cheap money some nice statues. Read the rest of this entry »

Maya beach

Posted by admin On February - 9 - 2007

At 7:00am in the morning I met at the dive shop for my first dives since leaving Australia. I was really excited and hoped to see heaps of good stuff down there And right I saw a lot, for example a leopard shark, black tip reef sharks, a turtle, a blue spotted stingray, a cuttlefish and a school of squid. Around 2:00pm I was back and together with Jacob I took a water taxi to see Maya beach, the main location of the movie “The beach” with Leonardo Di Caprio. The beach was beautiful and the water so clear, I decided to snorkel. After snorkeling for a while on a certain point in the water I felt stitches like from a needle. So I went straight back (The next days I got a rush from that and people told me it could be that I swam directly into jelly fish which were destroyed in little parts by the fisher boats.) Next stop was Monkey beach but in the beginning there was no monkey to see. But I didn’t gave up and the monkeys cam and I got some good shots of them. Read the rest of this entry »

The “Floating Market”

Posted by admin On January - 27 - 2007

Early in the morning was the pick-up for the trip to the floating market. Its the oldest and the original one. I hoped to get there lots of photo opportunities. But what a disaster! I started feeling cheated by the travel agency lady. We had only 40min time at the market, what is definitely not enough for buying things, bargaining, doing photos and eating. I was upset. After the 40min they bring us to a carving place and a gemstone place nobody wants to see! Promised was a free drop-off at the hotel. But the hotel was on the other side of Bangkok. So the driver absolutely didn’t want to bring us home. It cost us nerves and 40min after finally he had to drive us home. Besides we heard from the others in the bus, who bought the ticket somewhere else, that they only paid 200baht for the half day ticket… Never buy at a governmental tourist information T.A.T.!!! I started becoming really concerned about my 10 days Koh Phagnan with beach front bungalow and free shuttle service. Read the rest of this entry »

Feeding dolphins and watching dugongs

Posted by admin On December - 9 - 2006

In Denham I shared a room with Kim from Holland. We came along quite well and so we decided to go together today to Monkey Mia for feeding the wild dolphins. Monkey Mia is famous for its dolphins who come every morning for picking up some fish. I insisted to feed them and meanwhile Kim did the photo of me feeding the dolphins. After that we did a catamaran tour for 2 hours for seeing the rare dugong. Oh that tour was beautiful even it was a little chilly sometimes. As well we met Duncan and Dominic. They were british and had bought a van so after the catamaran trip we joined them on their drive to “Eagles Bluff” a nature reserve for watching the sharks from above.
