Visiting Information

How to get here:

Map and directions are as above.

Please note the monastery does not organize any tours or visitor pick-ups. We are simply open to the public. For any travel arrangements please contact a travel agent in Bangkok or Kanchanaburi town.

Visiting hours:

The monastery is open to the public from 8am to 4.00pm. However, not much happens in the morning. The best time to visit the temple is between 12.30pmand 3.45pm. If you arrive after 3.45 the temple gates will be closed and you will miss the opportunity to pet the tigers.

The tiger encounter:

At 1pm we walk tigers to the canyon and the visitors are given a chance to walk with the last tiger and to have their photos taken. On arriving to the canyon the visitors are taken inside one person at a time where they have an opportunity to pet a tiger and have their photos taken by our staff. Tigers remain in the canyon until approximately 4pm. Shortly after 4pm we take the tigers back to their cages for the night and the visitors are given another opportunity to walk with the last tiger and to have their photos taken.

Warning:

Please do not wear any bright colored clothes, especially red. You will not be able to approach the tigers if you wear a bright outfit.

Ladies are asked to dress appropriately for visiting a monastery.
