The variour kind of Temples & Tiger Tour Package are :

Touching A Tiger: Presiding over the tigers is the Abbot Phra Acharn Phoosit Khantidharo and a bunch of blue-shirted volunteers. The volunteers are mainly Thai but there’s also a couple of westerners too, who keep grab hold of the tigers’ collars if they start moving towards the boundary rope. They behave with well-deserved respect to the tigers, and they also take visitors in one by one to have their photo taken with a tiger. I have to confess I didn’t do this - I get a bit funny about petting wild animals.

Controversy: The tiger temple has been the subject of controversy on the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree message boards, with accusations that the tigers are drugged and that the temple itself is a rip-off. Most of the criticism seems shrill and uninformed to my mind, but read the board and decide for yourself.

Getting there : It’s pretty simple to get to the Tiger Temple - see the Lonely Planet thread above. I’m sure plenty of places on Khao San Rd can give you options of how to get to the temple. We did it by talking to a very friendly and helpful travel agent on the first floor at Hua Lumphong railway station (the main terminus in BKK) who booked a day trip for us combining the Bridge Over The River Kwai and the Tiger Temple. Remember to organise your day so you get to the temple after 1.30pm - that’s when the tigers are taken out of their cages. With these sorts of tours, you can simply pitch up and book it for the next day - no advance booking required.
