Tuesday, 'November 24, 2009 He returned to Bangkok from the equator (Singapore is located just 130 km above the navel of the world) and left in while Michael started his tour in Australia, I continued with the exploration of parts of the city 'and yet unseen other interesting destinations outside the city.
Moving north from the center can meet Vimanmek Palace, Victorian-style residence of King Rama V (1860-1910). A few meters away the former Parliament, designed by Italian architects in the neoclassical style and interemante clad in Carrara marble and finally Benchamabophit Wat.
little more 'then south, back toward the center, and the Golden Mount at Wat Ratchanaddaram its base.
located in Bangkok, and 'then a must view the nearby town of Ayutthaya . Former capital of Thailand (then Siam), was the site of 33 kings and there are remains of the XVI-XVIII century. Countless testimonies of merchants and travelers of the time, difinite this city 'as the most' rich and splendid capital of the entire East.
To close, a trip to Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi . I knew that in asia hesitate places where the monks keep the tigers as if they were kittens and guinsaglio to Kanchanaburi in fact had to be one of them, only that the situation has' proved very different than expectations. Places like this could be defined as "animal shelters" (in addition to tigers stay there because even buffalo, deer, peacocks etc etc), where the monks take care of orphaned or injured specimens, which otherwise would have little to live. A local dealer told me that the whole complex in question 'was purchased by the American multinational food "7eleven" and what' management has brought many changes. I did not find evidence on the internet about it, but after having the argument and I 'seemed quite realistic.
The first scene that you can 'see the entry, and in a sense, the "main course" of the park, and' was really sad. A large open space with about a dozen adult tigers, all linked by a chain to the ground and all super stoned. Of "tiger" in fact had just the look, 'cause in twenty minutes, only a few have deigned to raise his head, still keeping his eyes closed. The only three monks present were sitting in a corner and enjoy yourself ', while the whole, very tourist-style, was organized by staff of the boys, who were responsible for bringing tourists to hand around one of the tigers. They told me that the tigers had recently eaten, and then they were tired, but nothing more '. The dealer had me out of town but said that all the tigers are drugged mature, much more 'credible.
Released from the pit of tigers adults to explore the rest of the park, I quickly realized that this is turning into something akin to a safari zoo (with artificial waterfalls and so on, and 'clear that there are funds beyond the reach of the monks) . In this area, much more 'welcome, the animals are free, except for young tigers (giustamente. ..) now in effect are taken for a walk with a leash by the monks (equipped with radio to your belt).
I just can not say I found the situation I was hoping to find: very sad the area of \u200b\u200badult tigers and more 'interesting safari area. Too bad I was not party to Bangkok with the idea to make me a super tourist safari zoo ...
