Catch a Tiger by the....what?!
Yesterday Nathan and I finally made it to the Tiger Monastery in Kanchanaburi Thailand. We missed it on our first go around..but made a special trip from Bangkok before catching our train south to Malaysia.

| This was one sign we took a very close look at before entering the canyon where the tigers were all lounging |

| A six month old, napping in the sun |
 |
| A little nervous |
 |
| This was the largest male. My entire body could easily have fit in his stomach. He weighed almost 600 pounds. |

| Getting ready to bottle feed this 18 month old male. |

| The monks at this temple are all a little...harder than other monks. Tattoos, battle wounds..and they all seemed to be chain smokers. |
All in all...a great trip to the Temple. There were over 93 tigers living there. As well as deer, water buffalo, wild boars, horses. The temple takes in almost any kind of abandoned animal. Well worth the entrance fee to help support the cost of raising a tiger.

I feel like we need some more details about why the tigers are all tame.....
Additionally, I love the chubby people on the warning sign.
