Ah! Tiger temple. The same reaction i had when I heard about it. Yes , a temple for tigers. It is not really a temple but its a “New Home for Tigers” in Thailand.

Wat Pa Luangta Bua Yannasampanno(Tiger temple), Forest Monastery located at Saiyok District of Kanchanaburi Province- 37 km of the highway no 323. The objectives of the monastery: Conservation of animals(specially tigers) and to propagate Buddhism.

I didn’t book any tour package but still I did it. 

Here’s how i did it:

1) Took BTS sky train from Nana Station to Victory Monument- 8 mins. Sky train starts at 6.30 am. Then at Victory Monument ask anybody Mini Bus Station to go to Kanchanaburi. These Mini Buses are nothing but its actually a 14-seater van. 1st bus to Kanchanaburi is at 7 am . Every 30 mins you will get bus, it means next bus is at 7.30 am and so on. Fare: 130THB one way(while returning it was 120THB) Travel time: 2.30 hrs.

2) Then from Kanchanaburi Bus Station take the bus from PF-6(usually) No.8203 for Sai Yok and tell the driver that you want to get down at Tiger temple. The trip takes 30 mins. Fare: 30THB.

Look before you leap

Please note that Tiger Temple does not arrange any tours or transportation to or from the temple.

OR

From Kanchanaburi bus station book a taxi which will take you to the temple and bring you back to the station. Fare: Purely based on negotiation.

4) Returning

Same way to follow as above.

OR

What we did was, we booked a Taxi for 300THB(3 persons) which took us to River Kawi bridge from temple and then to Bus station.
