Another day, another hike. Where to today? The Tiger<\/a> Cave<\/a> Temple<\/p><\/div>\n

I get a Chinese vibe here<\/p><\/div>\n

Start of the 1260 steps to the top<\/p><\/div>\n

Jolly old chap<\/p><\/div>\n

If only these were made of real gold<\/p><\/div>\n

Donations welcome<\/p><\/div>\n

Steep steps<\/p><\/div>\n

Yay! I made it to the top<\/p><\/div>\n

Statue of Buddha<\/p><\/div>\n

Small statues<\/p><\/div>\n

Strong little guys<\/p><\/div>\n

What a great day for this hike<\/p><\/div>\n

Buddha, no idea what the thing on his head is<\/p><\/div>\n

Yay! Free money!<\/p><\/div>\n

Some large antennas here as well<\/p><\/div>\n

Stunning scenery<\/p><\/div>\n

I wonder what this one is made of, glass?<\/p><\/div>\n

What a view!<\/p><\/div>\n

More offerings for the elephant<\/p><\/div>\n

And what’s the story behind the multi-headed snake?<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking down, they’re constructing yet another temple down there<\/p><\/div>\n

Almost at ground level again<\/p><\/div>\n

Tiger, not a real one!<\/p><\/div>\n

There are some caves her too<\/p><\/div>\n

Buddha will be well pleased with the cool marble floor here<\/p><\/div>\n

Tham Meu Seua, great colours<\/p><\/div>\n

Proper cave stuff<\/p><\/div>\n

You have no idea how hot it had become and how wellcome the cool of this cave is<\/p><\/div>\n

More tigers, the tiger is very special here<\/p><\/div>\n

Long ago a tiger used to live around here and now the temple here is dedicated to this tiger<\/p><\/div>\n

You guessed it: statues of Buddha<\/p><\/div>\n

Tiger looks happy<\/p><\/div>\n

Reminds me of ‘De Efteling-elfjes<\/a>‘<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m leaving the temple grounds again, this is looking back at the entrance. It was another good hike with some great views<\/p><\/div>\n

This is not even a bridge for pedestrians or anything, it’s just something to honour the royal family<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s nice riding around here, not as busy as Phuket<\/p><\/div>\n

Back at my hotel<\/a>, lovely painting on the wall<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s affordable here, it’s got a swimming pool, nice rooms, and I am the absolute only one here, nuts!<\/p><\/div>\n

This afternoon I’ll be heading back to Phuket, I say goodbye to Nopparat Thara<\/a> beach<\/p><\/div>\n

And what a lovely beach it is<\/p><\/div>\n

Lots of little shops ar the marina<\/p><\/div>\n

I am at the Nopparat<\/a> Thara Pier<\/p><\/div>\n
