Tiger Temple
Here's something I HAVE to do the next time I go to Thailand. This is Tiger Temple. It's a temple where the monks take care of tigers. I found out about it from my mom's friend Linda, who came to visit her in the hospital today. We were chatting at lunch and she told me all about it. So we did a little Googling and found it on the internet.
I guess some of them are grumpy, but some of them are friendly and I think you can even meet them. The temple is about 2-3 hours northwest of Bangkok and it costs about $110 dollars to go on a tour (includes a tour of other tourist sites as well) for one day and for 2 people. Not too bad!
I also want to get Don to Thailand and have my uncle, the General, to take us to a Thai kickboxing (Muay Thai) tournament. Maybe go for a helicopter ride as well (he took my brother last time). It'll be a little tricky convincing Don to go to Thailand since it's hot there and he hates the heat. But if we go maybe during the month of December, maybe it won't be so bad. I've been there at that time and it can be just about like summer here in Michigan, though maybe a bit more humid. Besides, at some point, it'll be necessary for him to go if we have to go for a funeral. But hopefully it won't take that for him to get there.
Then the last thing I want to do in Thailand is go for the Songkran Festival in April. It's a celebration of the Thai New Year and it's one big country-wide water fight! How fun is that! Hopefully someday soon I'll get to do all these things.
