After breakfast you'll be able to participate in the training of the tiger cubs. Getting them to respond to simple commands is a very rewarding experience.

08:30 Play in Waterfall with Young Tigers
It's a short walk from the temple to the waterfall where the young tigers enjoy their morning frolic. You can get in with them but be warned, you'll get wet!

09:30 Wash & Shampoo Young Tigers
From the waterfall you can give a tiger it's morning wash and shampoo. They love this part of the day and this is what makes the morning program so special.

10:00 Tiger Canyon with Adult Tigers
In the afternoon program the tigers are chained to the ground as there are many people. In the morning they are not chained. They run free while you are in the safety cage. They love the pool here & this is as close as you'll ever get to adult tigers.

11:00 Photo Op with an Adult Tiger
Once the tigers have worked off their pent-up energy they relax in the shade. This gives you a chance-in-a-lifetime to have your piccie taken right beside one of these magnificent animals.

11:30 Lunch at Thai Restaurant
From the Tiger Temple we'll drive to a local Thai restaurant for lunch.

12:30 Elephant Ride

13:30 Bridge over the River Kwai
We'll stop at the Bridge over the River Kwai on the way back to Bangkok so you can walk across and take some photos. Please be careful here because the bridge has no sides or safety rails.

Important Information
As the Tiger Temple is a Buddhist monastery, women must dress appropriately. Tank tops, short skirts, shorts, shawls, scarves are not permitted. Tights cannot be worn as an outer garment. Also, bright colours like red, orange & pink are not allowed as these colours excite the tigers.

Please note that this is a morning program and does not allow for a return to the Tiger Temple in the afternoon
