Tiger Temple, a photo from Kanchanaburi, Central

Photographer's Note

An abbot of the temple and happy tourist with tigers.
Is is not me on the photo, but I peted some tigers too and I can say that it is really special feeling :)

Bua Wat Pa Luangta Yannasampanno (or Tiger Temple) is a Buddhist temple in Western Thailand (130 km from Bangkok). The temple keeps numerous animals, among them several tame tigers that walk around freely once a day and can be petted by tourists.

Hi Sonia,

It is a great shot you made. I am scared to see the tigers with their prey. What I can see in this picture is that: monk and the pretty girl. The monk is trained to oppress his feelings toward sex. So in this picture, this monk may experience some sort of oppressed feeling while sitting in front of the topless girl. So this monk may feel uncomfortable. One thing about tourists in general: first think what you need to wear when you want to visit some particular place. They have to know cultural appropriateness of wearing.

This picture is a great implication for tourists to be aware of wearing. Good job Sonia.

Sothy
