Some more photos (Tim)
At last I have a load of time (we're waiting for our bus from Bangkok to Ubon, where we will meet up with Rose again) and my camera with me, so here is another photo blog. These aren't as visually impressive as the last, but they help add some illustration to the text from the past few weeks.
Me and Ryan by a random waterfall we visited on the trek in Kanchanaburi before heading for the jungle.
The children of the family we stayed with in Ratchaburi - Pompom (the guy, 17), Nana (younger sister, 19), and Sisi (older sister, 23). Taken on a bridge over the floating markets.
A picture of Ryan trying to 'wear as many flip-flops as possible' on my command, in order to distract one of the volunteers, Carly, whilst her surprise birthday party was being made ready. Ryan did a good job and managed to place on his person, in total, 7 pairs - successfully preventing Carly from having a clue what was going on.
Me and Shaun looking pensive and generally greedy whilst eating Carly's birthday cake.
The beach of Railay Bay, where we stayed before Koh Phi-Phi. This was a beautiful place, but was mainly a tourist village so the prices were extortionate (much like all places in the south of Thailand, really). It is sometimes easy to become desensitised to the surroundings when the whole of Thailand is so picturesque, and it is only when I look back at this photo that I realise how stunning the bay actually was.
Ryan stroking a tiger at the tiger temple.
Me stroking a tiger. I don't think I would have been standing so close at the time if I'd realised how annoyed it looks.
Shaun stroking a tiger.
Phra Suphat with one of the monk children living at the tiger temple. This was before he was attacked (obviously).
Ryan, Shaun and I giving an offering to the monk who lead the meditating classes.
Ryan and I standing outside our rooms at the monastry where we stayed for the first couple of days. You can see a bit of the temple in the background, but not really the most attractive part.
Us three and the two American guys meditating whilst sitting, at the retreat where we spent the last two days of our time with the monks.
Us three, the two American guys and Aya (a Japanese girl also on the meditation course) meditating whilst walking.

~Caris~
Cool photos. Glad to see your hair isn't too short Tim! Very brave of you to go so close to those tigers, personally I'd stay as far as possible away from them! Nice to see some more evidence from where you've been. :)
