Kanchanaburi Tiger Temple
Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand

Our tour bus had all these RPM speedometers and most curious.....

This button that did something. It looks like a Nitrous Oxide charge,
but that makes no sense for a tour bus mini-van. Why would you want to burst an extra 50 mph?

This way to the tiger cages....  (an the pavilian?)

When I snapped a photo the one on the right looked, snorted, and kinda lunged toward me.
I literally almost wet my pants.

Yes it is a real tiger, no he's not sedated and I don't think he was chained.

They told me to really pull on his head, which I wasn't fond of, but that's what I had to do.
