From Bangkok to Kanchanaburi

We Brits arrived at Bangkok airport around 9am, wondering how we were going to get through another day without crashing out...particularly since the day turned out to be so eventful. We hardly had time to recover from the flight before we found ourselves making yet more introductions - to the...

Tiger Temple

One of the most interesting volunteer opportunities I was able to find is the chance to work with the endangered Bengal Tiger. This place is known as the Tiger Temple.
