Tiger Temple!



'Last Saturday, our latest group of volunteers set out on a hot, blue-sky morning to conquer the fabled Tiger Temple. The 1237 steps seemed a little daunting in the heat but all were excited to take on the challenge.

Armed with bottles of water, sports-trainers and determination the volunteers set off up the steps and didn’t look back. Although a few cheeky monkeys attempted to stall the group’s progress along the way, the volunteers pushed on up the steps and soon reached the top.


Emma bounded up the mountain in a gut-busting 20 minutes, but was soon followed by the rest of the volunteers. While catching their breath at the top the group congratulated each other on the climb and agreed that it was certainly worth the spectacular 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape and offshore islands they were witnessing from the summit.


After the climb everybody headed into Krabi town for a delicious and well-deserved lunch. Some volunteers then chose to kick back and relax over a couple cold drinks while others hit the local market with a new wave of energy and searched out some great bargains.

It was a great day out, enjoyed by all!'
