st of all, I would like to say namely this was one experience of a lifetime.
You will be treatment tigers, both full grown and juvenile (the cubs were about 9 months age while I was there, so they may be also massive to be doing some of the entities I might narrate or there might be younger cubs at all times you arrive and so they may be act assorted activities).
I would suggest bringing some basic therapeutic supplies such as bandaids, gauze, hydrogen peroxide and isopropyl alcohol because chances are you will acquire a tiger bite or scratch. These are quite fun reminders of your voyage as well as a very keen direction to show off to your friends. Chances are that you will not be very clean when staying there so it is major to reserve your wounds clean.
Also,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], don't send coiling baggage for I did for it is hell to lug approximately. Backpacks are suggested.
You tin both take a taxi straight up to the temple or you can take the 81 bus out of Kanchanaburi and acquaint the driver apt drop you off at the Tiger Temple. You ambition then must hike approximately 3km to the temple doors. Rolling your suitcases 3km in the heat at 5 pm namely not amusement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! When you arrive you ambition then be shown to your quarters. Females are on the main grounds. They have tile flooring, individual chambers with locks, mosquito nets, electricity, fans, bathrooms with toilets and showers, and sinks. Males have to proceed hiking back into the jungle and we live where the monks do in huts. Females are no granted back here. It namely a concrete cabin with a portico and small "lavatory" accompanied. I will not lie, this is pretty many roughing it. There is not electricity and the "bathroom" consists of a thai toilet (a porcelein aperture in the floor) a faucet secondhand to flush the toilet alternatively fill up buckets as laundry or catching pail showers. In the hut you will be invested with candles, carpets, mats, and pup tents.
Now I wish this doesn't horrify you because just the contingency to work with tigers like this is definetely value these alive conditions. And you typically merely come here to nap. Usually you can hang out at the canteen equitable appearance of the temple, yet be scrupulous if you are staying late because they may latch the gate on you. Water is superfluity, because the Wat flasks their own so it is not necessary to bring anybody from town. It is true that the monks only eat 1 meal a day, and that is breakfast which is a colossal meal. However, there is free lunch for workers as well as tourists at the restaurant during the day. This is ordinarily noodles or pad thai. There is usually a beverage vendor there who sells soft drinks. And dinner is provided to you as well because they drive to a contiguous mart to purchase it. So there is really no need to anxiety about food, but I would still suggest stopping in Kanchanaburi for snacks or catching some KFC if you are exhausted of Thai food. I would too suggest renting a motorbike in Kanchanaburi. This is definetely worth it because there is a lot of dead time. We would retard out local tourist blots such as an elephant camp and Sayok Noi waterfall. I would too definetely suggest taking a day off and visiting Erawon cascade. You will need most of a day to do this 2 km hike up the mountain and swim in the different levels of the cascade.
The typical daytime at the temple is uncomplicated. At 7am you go to the cub cages and neat the cages and wash the cubs. At 8am you bring the cubs up to breakfast at the sala. (This is where we would obtain maximum of our period playing with the cubs.) At around 9am you bring the cubs back to their cages. You have dead time until 1pm. You could emulate the personnel around and maybe find some go to do or whether you can use this time to explore. At 12:45, you bring the cubs to an waiting space where the passengers can get a better see at them. At 1pm, you bring the tigers down to the canyon. At the canyon you have several duties: Inform the new tourists as they come down about the rules of the canyon as well as giving out mementoes for alms; go around with a laborer and take pictures of the tourists with the larger t
