The highlight of this full-day excursion is a visit to the remote forest temple of Wat Pha Luangtabua, some 160 kms from Bangkok. In these beautiful surroundings, dedicated Buddhist monks live with numerous wild animals including ten tigers, which they take for a walk on a leash every afternoon. This is one of the most extraordinary sights you will ever see in Thailand, and is probably unique in the world. In such proximity to the tigers, all visitors must exercise caution, and never act in any way that might disturb or frighten the beasts .
