The Tiger Temple is situated about 40km from the town of Kanchanaburi . The local tigers are taken care of by Buddhist monks and a team of international volunteers. The species of those tigers is unknown, but most likely they are a mixture of Bengal and Indochinese tigers. The Tiger Temple was established to take care of tigers - usually tiger cubs whose mothers were killed by poachers. The temple became a sanctuary, where the cubs could grow up and live in peace and even move freely around the neighbourhood. Today the free movement of tigers is restricted as so many visitors come to see them. The whole Tiger Temple is financed from private sources and donations of visitors, who can, for a small fee , feed the cubs or get a photo with a grown up tiger..
