Jeff takes a break during his 50 K bike ride through the Kanchanaburi countryside.

This was one small section of a super cool water fall, Pha Tad Waterfall. It took a few hours to hike up the whole thing, but amazingly we could hike right up on it, as the rocks were really grippy.

This waterfall was truly amazing, it goes on and on, water spilling over different sections, some steep, some not, lots of pools here and there.

One of many rubber tree farms - the island is known for farming rubber and cashew nuts. The road here is all the island has, no cars, just motorbikes.

Stopped at this shop that sells native jewelry. The pic shows a Buddhist spirit house, common all over Thailand, and some relaxing spots to hang out in on the beach.

This guy had his eye on my bag!

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.
