Tigers, tigers and tigers oh my!!

Sawadee ka,

A few weeks ago I had an experience like no other...I went to a Tiger Temple.  The Tiger Temple is located in Kanchanburi, Thailand.  Of course some of my colleagues were not at all thrilled that I chose to do this BUT when in life can you say that you got THIS close to a tiger!!!  We were able to pet the tigers and take pics with them.  Oh yeah, before I entered the temple I had to sign a waiver basically saying that the temple was not responsible if anything was to happen to me.  Monks actually live on the temple grounds with the tigers..which is awesome!!!  We also met a few Westerners that volunteer at the tiger temple and they were really enthusiastic about their jobs.  All in all I had a great time and I can say that I have actually been up close and personal with a tiger.

Always learning,

Charmel

AWESOMENESS!!! What a story for the ages to pass down the lineage. My heart was jumping just imagining being in the same space with such a wonder. Keep sharing Charmel.
Thank you so much for connecting me to the other side of the world.
