Renovation Project: Tiger Temple!!



An even earlier start today (I think a trend is starting) and we were out the door at 6am. After a quick stop at the market for nibbles, we were off to Wat Tham Seua (Tiger Temple). We had opted for the early start in order to catch a glimpse of the monks as they performed their morning prayers and received breakfast.




After spending some quiet time in the temple grounds, we braced ourselves for the intense climb: 1,237 steps. Thankfully, our choice to start early meant zero crowds and manageable heat so we set off in good spirits and everyone made it to the top (some considerably slower than others, but to the top nevertheless!) We all soaked up the gorgeous view from the top for a good long while before making the jelly-legged descent.
