A trip to a temple, hot springs and crystal pool

	To the left, the bus with only 6 of us. Half a bout outside a hotel. Nice decoration.
	Fancy beach just North of Ao Nang. The Tiger Cave Temple.
	The fat, Chinese version of Buddha. The main hall of the temple.
	We tourists got a Buddha blessing from one of the monks. Lovely Hanne, the best guide Martin has had in years. She really convinced Martin about the idea of Buddha.
	The girls from town bring food the the monks. A fancy chair carved out of wood. Fancy wood.
	On path to the monks' dwellings. The main living area for the monks.
	Monkeys are thieves. Watch out for them. The perpetrators themselves. They were everywhere.
	The main square outside the temple. Off to the hot springs.
	The one side of the pool. The main pool area. Thai women don't take of their clothes due to shyness.
	Very decorative pole where we simple materials were used in a new way. Nice. Collecting rubber from the rubber tree. Quite unique.
	The rubber press used to make rubber mats from the rubber use. The rubber mats hung up to dry.
	Off to the crystal pool. The pool itself. It was nice and hot, some 290 Centigrade.

The next day, Saturday Dec 20^th, was the last full day in Thailand for now.
