"Into the Heart of Darkness..." Kyaiktiyo Things to Do Tip by kenmerk

Tho' I lacked the foresight to photograph these things, I did see a strange sight or two during the hike up the hill to Kyaiktiyo...

One guy waved me over and gestured into a large garbage back he was holding.... Inside was a large constrictor snake that I guess, he recently grabbed from the nearby woods...

More startling was a local barbeque that was taking place up the path a little further... I looked at what they were cooking and could not identify the main course: Large animal with huge eye teeth... When I inquired, the cook make a clawing gesture with his both of his hands, and said in the English that would make the Queen's mother proud: TIGER!!!

Guess they arent extinct yet in these necks of the woods....
