Growl! I found it!

So the other day I found out about the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi and started to wonder (obsess) if we couldn't fit it into our itinerary somewhere. While our plans are still very flexible at this point, I was not sure how we'd get from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi and figured I needed to do some research before getting my heart officially set on going. Afterall, I wouldn't want to be officially disappointed. Well, exactly one google search later and viola!:

It looks like for about $125 - $135 US dollars we can take a day trip that goes a little something like this:

7:30-8:00 Leave Bangkok for Kanchanaburi.

08:30 First Stop visit to floating market of Damnoen Saduak

11:30 Kanchanaburi visit to Bridge over the River Kwai and war cemetery of allied prisoners.

12:00 Lunch floating restaurant over looking the Bridge

01.00 Visit Tiger Temple in the dimension of Tiger Island Project and then touch the nature of tigers and other kind of wild animals such as deer, wild fowl, wild boar

03:00 Wang Po, time allowing all: Feed Wild Monkeys, Kaset Buddha Cave, Trestle Bridge part of the Death Railway, River Rafting, Elephant Cam.

05:00 Leave Kanchanaburi Province for Bangkok.

Price for all tours includes: Driver, Van, Guide and lunch. Gate fee paid Tiger Temple and Floating Market. Vehicle is a Modern High Top Van with A/C

To me this seem like a pretty sweet deal and I'd be hard pressed not to go for it. But what do you think Kristin?

This is ABSOLUTELY something we need to do! If we can make resrvations before we even go and have it all paid for, even better. The tiger has always been one of my favorite animals (it may stem from all those Duran Duran videos) and to be able to touch that beautiful fur - not to mention the photo ops. And how many people can say they actually BEEN to the Bridge over the River Quai? We'll have to remember to whistle when we're there. As if the people there haven't THAT before.
