Wat Pha Luangta Maha Bua, Buddhist temple in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand
The temple complex features traditional Thai Buddhist architecture with multiple halls surrounded by gardens and meditation areas in western Thailand.
Founded in 1994, the temple initially gained recognition in 1999 when monks began caring for injured tigers brought to the sanctuary.
The temple demonstrates the Buddhist principle of compassion through the monks' dedication to animal welfare and their daily meditation practices.
The temple operates from midnight to 4 PM daily, with entrance fees of 600 baht and transportation services available from Bangkok.
In 2016, authorities discovered 147 tigers living within the temple grounds, leading to their relocation to government-managed wildlife sanctuaries.
