(Day 6 and 7)
(Also the best day of my life)
**********
Omg, I can't believe I'm done with the blogging for the whole of my BKK trip. Normally I'd stop halfway
due to the complete lack of motivation (and some laziness :p). I think I deserve a pat on my back. :p
Anyway, for the second last day of our trip, we went to Kanchanaburi, which was an approximate 2 hrs drive
from Bangkok. I love going on roadtrips because there are just so much to see along the way.
First, we stopped at the kanchanaburi War Cemetry where the remains of the Prisoners of
War during the WW2 were rested.
As I took a walk around, I was surprised to see that many of the prisoner of wars who perished were of very young ages.
Most were only 20+ years old.
With the holy cross above my head.
Moved on to the Jeath War Museum after a brief moment at the cemetry.
Jeath is the acronym for - Japan, England, Australia, Thailand and Holland (The primary countries involved)
Scenes of Singapore
Statue of Mr. Takashi Nagase (Fujiwara)
From the statue's plaque
Mr Takashi Nagase (Fujiwara) born in Okayama city, Japan, in 1918. He was a universty student before he joined the Japanese army. Later the army sent him to work on the Death Railway construction from Thailand to Burma (1941~1943) as an interpreter for the Japanese military police.
After World War II finished, he was one of a grave searching party, searching for graves of POW's who passed away.
Because of this, he had a change of heart about the Japanese actions. He devoted himself to society. He became ordained as a Buddist monk to dedicate merits to the departed ones. He established The River Kwae Peace Foundation that has given thousands of scholarship to the poor students in Kanchanaburi for many years.
Death Railway / Burma Railway / The Thailand–Burma Railway / Bridge Over River Kwai
This railway was built by the Japanese during WW2. Many labourers and POWs died in the process.
Mae Klong river
I swear the fan was my "saviour" in the deadly weather that day.
In the van, the driver drove us to this secluded place for lunch!
Loved the tranquility of the place~
Arhhh check out the lil puppies!!
1 ... 2 ... 3 ...
Awwwwwwwwwww~~~
Aren't they the sweetest thing? I could feel my heart melting everytime I look at this photo!
This boy just loves small animals.
Our next destination of the day.
Check out the wild boar
The tiger temple / Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua
I was super super super super super happy to see a real life tiger!!! I'm talking about the orange tigers and not the
white tigers you can see in the S'pore zoo.
Tiger cubsss!! Arhh!! I nearly went crazy when I saw them!
We must be the luckiest people in the place that day!! Because we got to feed one of the cubs!! I was like 'omg omg omg' was it for real???
Couldn't resist giving the cub a peck! *Died and gone to heaven*
THE MOST GORGEOUS, SWEETEST, CUTEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!
Major AWWW~~~
With the monk who gave us the "privilege" to feed the cub. I guess that we have an affinity with him. I've never dreamt of being able to get upclose and personal with a tiger cub. I can die with no regrets now. :x
The other animals in the sanctuary.

The last day of our trip :(
Rushed like mad to the departure gate. We were almost late!
Final call!
Byeee BKK..
Arhh, the sea beneath us was in beautiful shade of greenish bluee! (I need an Island Getaway soon!)
Airplane food..
Home sweet Home!
Phew, with that amount of peektures, I shall end this blog post!
I'd love to drop by kanchanaburi again if I happen to go to BKK.
Do make a day trip to Kanachaburi should you go to BKK. We had a good experience. :D
