Thailand Mission and Cultural Trip 2014 - Journal 10

After church and the weekly church potluck we headed for the orphanage in Lop Buri. We had a great

driver. He took the back, scenic route and got there much faster. I was disappointed with the visit to the orphanage. Only a few girls came out and they had to leave early for supper. We plan to go back next week and hope it will be a better experience.

Our driver also took the back road to

Kanchanaburi, and instead of the normal 4-hour drive, he did it in 2.5 hours! So we got there before dark. I like this hotel; it is nice, overlooking the River Kwai; and only costs 600bht ($18.00) per room.

Today is Rob’s birthday; so we celebrated it at the fancy floating restaurant by the famous

bridge over the River Kwai. We also took a walk on the bridge.

We will awake early to be at the Tiger Temple at 7:15am.

Here is a reminder of where to find all the photos that I have taken: http://people.wallawalla.edu/~pedrito.maynard-reid/gallery2/main.php/v/pedrito-travels/PedritosTravels2014/Pedritos+ThailandTravel2014/.
