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. You can see more
