If you are travelling to Bangkok and love animals i would put this on your list. I went there with my sister and we loved it.
Tiger cubs are dumped here after poachers have killed their parents or people who thought they could look after one realise they cannot.
The monks and volunteers look after these magnificent creatures and although for most of the day they are kept in cages until the afternoon when they are walked down to the man made canyon for a swim and photos, they are building an island with donations from tourists so the animals can be free all the time.
Although these are wild animals, the volunteers look after you and you feel completely safe at all times.
It is very hot here about 45 degrees celcius in the canyon on a good day so wear light clothing and do not wear bright colours like pink or blue or red, take plenty of water.
Cost at the temple was 100bht to pat about 6 tigers and 1000 bht to have one lay in your lap.
Water is provided in the canyon while you wait your turn.
Pick up from your hotel, we were at Grand China Princess and i think it cost us about $120 AUD, not including the tiger photos.

Directions: We took a bus tour from Bangkok but it is about a half hour from Kanchanaburi.
It was a round trip of about 5 hours.
