Tiger Temple

Tiger Temple

Over nearly a decade, a temple in the heart of the Thai jungle has been building a tiger population that now far outnumbers the seven monks who live and pray there. And the temple has become a major tourist attraction, providing visitors a hands-on experience they can't find (and may not want to) in an American zoo. But these monks and their tame tigers have generated critics, who accuse the temple of everything from drugging the animals to illegally trafficking them. The monks stand by their temple, as Clarissa Ward reports.

Temple Tiger

If in the area I think it would be a very interesting place I would try to see. I am unsure how trustworthy the tigers would be but I would chance a visit with out my boys. Large cats tend to become unstable in adulthood especially males.
