Tiger temple, also known as Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua has become one of the top attractions in Thailand not only among the Buddhist devotees but also among the regular foreign visitors to the Saiyok district. More than a Buddhist temple, the place is more of a sanctuary for wild creatures. The temple has got its name as “Tiger temple” as there are several Indo- Chinese young and adult tigers living in the temple premises. Admission fee to the temple is a part of a fund raising project to look after these animals. When considering accommodation, one would look for a convenient Samui resort to rest and unwind. Anantara Bophut Koh Samui which is a luxury Samui Hotel is a good option available in the area.
