Tigers save the world

Hands down one of the best experiences of my life, making Thailand a sure thing on my list of the top 5 places in the world! .

Tigers, cubs & kitties oh my! This Tiger Temple, run by monks is where you can touch, pet & walk huge tigers. You get up close and personal when a giant tiger head lays in your lap. Meow!

Kitty Kat in heaven, being with my own kind. We were even privileged enough to see the trainers exercise, more like play, with the big cats. They put us in a cage & surrounded us with 6 full grown tigers. They brought out some toys & wow - jumping, stalking & rough housing ensued - right in front of us not more than 5 feet away, if that. I can't tell you how cool this was. Well, pictures are the proof!


PS - oh yeah, we saw the bridge over the river Kwai too. We had lunch & had to endure a 4hour bus ride each way - so totally worth it.


The latest version of the bridge of the river Kwai

One of the many items in the store by the bridge :)

For 3USD I got to feed this little guy his bottle.

Getting a helping hand & some instruction with the kitten :)

Our first group shot

Kitty likes the belly rub! Brian the kitty whisper.

That's one big dude!

Rough housing

and a little stalking...

What's left of the last tourist

Tiger's really can fly!
