Dear Nicky,
How are you? I’m writing this postcard from Thailand. The culture is very different comparing to ours. If they want to cut the electricity they literally cut the wires which is really bizarre. The food is very spicy and I can’t get used to it so mostly I ask if they can prepare it less spicy.
Nearly 95% of the Thailand’s population is Buddhist therefore they meditate and make sacrifices. Did you know that every Thai man has to be a monk in his life for two weeks? I think it is a fascinating religion and I would love to be a monk for two weeks. If I was a monk, I would meditate for hours. I would also be walking around barefoot and live in the heart of Western Thailand next to the River Kwai and spend my days in the Wat Pa Luang Ta Bua Temple.

First thing to do in the morning after prayers and breakfast would be walking through the town and collect alms and food from the locals, because that is what Buddhist monks do in Thailand. But this temple is very special, it’s also called Tiger Temple and in this monastery the monks live with tigers. An orphaned tiger cub was brought to the temple years ago and the monks cared for her. After that people brought injured and orphaned cubs to this temple. Currently there are 34 tigers living there. They have respect for each other and they live in peace. I am sure this would be an amazing experience in one’s life. I really recommend you to visit the Tiger Temple when you will go to Thailand.
After visiting the temple we went to the North of the country for a jungle tour and it was lovely, but we didn’t even have a proper toilet which was awkward and we had to use water instead of toilet paper. At least they have bikes in Bangkok which made me feel at home again. Tomorrow we are going to experience the ultimate Thailand feeling; drinking beer on a sunny beach as you can see on the picture.
