Why Tiger Temple (Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua Yanasampanno) is special ?
Tiger Temple is in the Sai Yok District of Thailand's Kanchanaburi Province, not far from the border with Burma, some 38 km (24 mi) northwest of Kanchanaburi on Hwy 323. It was founded in 1994 as a forest temple and sanctuary for wild animals, among them several tigers, the majority of which are Indochinese tigers. The temple has long been accused by animal rights activists of mistreating the tigers for commercial gain and even trafficking some of its animals.

Awesome experience! The volunteers are good at taking photos. Tigers were a bit lazy, probably sedated for safety. Totally worth it!
