Tiger Temple, or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua, is a Theravada Buddhist temple in western Thailand that was founded as a forest sanctuary for wild animals. The majority of animals are Indochinese tigers.
From my (visitor’s) point of view, Tiger Temple is like all-inclusive resort for tigers :) Tigers get free meals, drinks, Thai body massages, and entertainment. They have Tiger Canyon (a sandy-beach resting area), and two pools- one for adults and one for kids. The only difference between the tiger resort and human resort is a chain/leash the tigers are attached to during visitors time. But, as we all know, a chain/leash might be a good solution for some folks in human all-inclusive resorts too ;)
