An hour drive in a minivan and there we were in the heart of a jungle. Unfortunately, in a civilized jungle. Obviously, tourists must be shown all possible attractions in an organized way.
Too bad, but we can't expect to see virgin rain forests in the region taken into possession by tourist agencies.
Nevertheless, we have seen some "real nature", and first of all we have felt the temperature and humidity of the air in the depth of the forest.
A bath in the hot spring with 42 C of the water, despite high density of population in it, was healing! Swimming in the flow emerald lake (hygiene!) was refreshing.
In the end we visited to the Tiger Cave Temple where there used to be tigers and now it serves Buddhist monks as a hermitage.
