Tiger Temple

---

Just a quick blog as its our last night in Bangkok and we are off out .
Today we went to the tiger temple, took a taxi for 2000 baht so we didnt get stuck doing the touristy bridge over river Kwai and war graves, also wanted to avoid the tour buses so we got there early and was it worth it?
Just check out the pictures.
The tigers, all 17 of them are walked down to the canyon at 1pm we arrived at 12.30 and there was only 15 people there so we were lucky enough to meet the two new cubs which had been born on the 14th Nov.
It was amazing, walked to the canyon with the tigers then had pictures taken with them.
They are not tame, not drugged, its amazing the abbot..main monk is incredible they all listen to him it has to be experienced to be believed.
If you want to read more about the tiger temple check out the website www.tigertemple.org

Travelling memories
Guys, It has been great fun reading all your blogs as you travel around Asia. I never got to see Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos but now have a desire to go and visit them, from your blogs. The tigers trip sounds amazing and great pics. Couldn't you have got a bit closer!! Have a safe trip to NZ when you finally leave Bangkok and look forward to hearing all about NZ. Cheers
