Kanchanaburi Part 2 TIGER TEMPLE

LUNCH!!
(If I had seen what I looked like in the swimsuit before lunch 
I probably wouldn't have been so excited to eat!!!)

 tom yum soup

shrimp cakes

local veggies 

Steve's chicken fried rice

Panang chicken curry




Tiger Temple!!
All the tigers grew up at the Temple and are raised by Monks.  There are 106 tigers right now.

We have to sign this...

This area you can pay to go down and play with tigers that are about 1 year old.
We were there right as this opportunity ended...darn...


Then down into the canyon to play with more tigers!!


They walk you around and you take pictures with a lot of different tigers...
Rufus sleeps like this... but I think he is a little more innocent.





Mom kept just bending over in the pictures and was afraid to touch them!
  
They hold your hand because too many loose people would make the tigers mad.

We helped walk the Tigers out, they are heading to Tiger Island.




Then we paid 500 baht ($15) to be put into a cage and watch "playtime"...
building the cage... 









SUPER FUN!!!

  1. Beautiful tigers. Looks sort of scary. I don't blame Cathy for being a little hesitant about getting real close. BT
