rene123 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Tourists are unaware of the risks. The Thai government takes no responsibility and you can see advertisements for the tiger parks at every tourist hotel and tour company. I don't blame the tourists and the fake monks get a free pass from the government. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kan Win Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) it looks like the brains stay at home if tourists leave for vacation..... A bit like the brains stay at home behaviour exhibited by personages living in Thailand who profess not to be tourists on vacation, but "residents" you mean ? This may have not been the smartest move, but are you suggesting all accountability is on this girl ? The tiger temple has a great deal of accoutability in this case... for encouraging the girl to do this, for a fee, I assume Having been to the tiger temple, there is "hard selling" by people at the temple for tourists to get their photo's taken simply because they are making money out it, so they are going to tell somebody anything to get their hands on the cash... these are wild animals and the temple should not even encourage this... Did the Tiger Temple compensate her and her sister for the "Lost Holiday that they did not have after that event"?, having saved their funds for 6 months to come to The Land of Smiles, Thailand?

The International Farang Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I never said British tourists are stupid, but this one clearly was! These tigers are drugged, de-clawed and god-knows what else, to benefit these "monks". Tourists need to read up on this and other tiger slave trade businesses before embarking on these tours. One reason I never go to Phuket Zoo. The tiger there is vewy vewy sweepy. Erm, if the tiger was drugged etc it wouldn't have been able to maul the tourist-girl.

Anaesthesia is a complicated procedure even for vets, and calculating the right amount of anaesthetic to render an animal docile without putting it under is an imprecise science.

So can we assume that drugged humans can't attack other humans either? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtomtom69 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 She was saved when keepers at the Tiger Temple sanctuary in West Thailand... why the post doesn't name the place???? to prevent tourists from not going there? if it is in Thailand it must be tiger temple in kanchanaburi province. Around 40 km north of the town. been there many times. Fiorst time around 10 years ago. Since then it has changed, but for the worse Yes that's the one as there's only one. It's located on the main highway between Kanchanaburi and Sai Yok in the direction of the Three Pagodas Pass (Burmese border) some 30-40km west of Kanchanaburi and 20km or so east of Sai Yok, not north (north is the direction of Suphanburi).

wilcopops Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 "keepers at the Tiger Temple sanctuary in West Thailand jumped between her and the animal," - Apart from using the Thai name they are pretty clear as where it is - the paper has published previous articles critisicising safety there - so I guess they think that calling it the "Tiger Temple" is sufficient.
