In California where I am from, we have a large dairy and beef industry, and I never saw a bull like this before. I seriously thought at first it was an enormous goat! Apparently there ARE these kinds of cattle with these cute floppy ears! Google confirmed it for me!

All my photos of monks around Thailand are from my car since it is rude to photograph them. I pass them every day on my moto ride to school, sometimes they walk by my house...but I only have pictures from our moving car! This pic shows a common way to get around once you're out of Bangkok - motos with side trailers.

The village closest to the national park - I've heard you can take a boat up the river and that it is amazing to do it around sunset. Plan to head back here in the future for that.

View from our lunch spot - grabbed some local chicken fried rice, squid, and sweet and sour chicken.

At the parking lot, my daughter fell in love with some puppies that were running around.

Look closely, you'll see the long dangling tail of a Dusky Langur

The beach near the base of the cave trailhead was covered in a couple centimeters of light colored seashells.

The main part of Prayakan Cave. Apparently the sunlight is amazing between 10:00 am and 10:30 am, but we missed that window of time. It was still pretty nice! My camera cannot do justice to how tall the walls of the cave are.
