WAT KANCHANABURI - THAILAND


The Tiger Temple, or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua, or Wat Kanchanaburi is a Buddhist temple in Kanchanaburi province, Thailand - it is said to be a sanctuary for several tame tigers, which apparently walk around freely every day and can be petted by tourists. The Temple's popularity is based around claims that its tigers were rescued from poachers and move freely and peacefully amongst the temple's monks, who are actively engaged in conservation work.
