Does anyone know where this is?
Apparently the monks there take good care of some tigers and visitors are welcome.

Hi Mel,
Sorry not been on the site for a while, busy.
There's been a lot of contraversy about the temple in the last year or so, I've not been back for about a year so don't feel qualified to comment on how it is now. All I can say is the last time I was there there was no sign of the tigers being drugged or of any mal treatment to the tigers.
Unfortunatly due to work commitments it may be a few months before we can return there but rest assured we will.
Thanks Draggons
Do u know any place else where u know the tigers are being well looked after which accepts visits from tourists?

Thanks Pratya
I volunteer at the temple for some time. I saw no abuse in the beginning, but as I stayed there longer the abuse of the tigers and money donated by the public became evident. I left because of the abuse I witness .
Tigers were hit with fists, sticks and rocks. They had their noses and ears twisted for fun.
Do not support the Tiger temple. It is a tourist trap.
