The Bridge Over The River Kwai Tour & Tiger Temple
 
Fascinating, nostalgic and memorable sums up this day tour to the Kanchanaburi province, 130 km west of Bangkok. The province itself is an agricultural area, and sugar cane, rice paddies and pineapple plantations are all part of the landscape, which in many areas is quite stunning.
 
The famous bridge and the beginning of the ‘Death Railway’ which lies some 1 mile outside town are a poignant reminder of the thousands of POW’s and forced laborers who lost their lives in the Second World War. A visit will be made to one of the Allied War Grave cemeteries (often an emotional experience) before visiting the JEATH war museum, which houses pictures and paintings from this period.
 
The first tiger was brought to the Pha Luang Ba Tua Buddhist Temple in 1998 after being injured by a hunter, but died within days. Soon after, two very ill cubs arrived with large knife wounds in their stomachs. Miraculously, they survived, and the temple quickly earned a reputation as a tiger haven.
 
“When the villagers saw how we tended to the first tigers they brought others. Some were injured by hunters who had a change of heart, others by people who did not want the tiger near their village but also did not want to see it die,” Phusit said.
 
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) estimates that there are between 150 and 500 tigers remaining in the wild in Thailand. Healthy tigers from the Temple are sent back to the forest once they are ready to return.
 
To return to the wild, the tigers do not have far to go. The temple sits on a small plain surrounded by jagged rocky outcrops about 40 kilometers beyond the famous World War II-era Bridge on the River Kwai.
