Tiger Temple, or Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua, is a Theravada Buddhist temple in western Thailand that was founded in 1994 as a forest temple and sanctuary for wild animals, among them several tigers, the majority of which are Indochinese tigers. I was very impressed at how the tigers are treated and loved by their keepers and despite a lot of people believing the tigers to be drugged,I can vouch that they really are not.
