Tiger Temple, Kanchanaburi. On the Beaten Track, Part 3
Posted on 28 February 2010
I first heard of the Tiger Temple over 10 years ago on a TV documentary but it's taken me this long to get around to going there. The documentary showed the temple in a good light, a few conservationists argued against it, but their argument was that tigers should be kept naturally not as pets, nothing about cruelty. The abbot of the temple countered by saying what was important was Tiger happiness and saving tigers, and with tigers virtually extinct I found his pragmatism pretty sensible so I had no qualms about visitng.

CCP Refuses the Burmese RefugeesFollow us on TWITTER: twitter.com Like us on FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com The conflict between Burma's army and the Kachin Independence Army escalated.

The armed conflict between Burma's military and the Kachin Independence Army still keeps going since June 2011. Huge fluxes of Burmese refugees entered China's Ruili city, Longchuan, Yingjiang, areas along China--Burma border. Mi Bingxing, Christian priest in Yunnan province, reveals that about 70000 Burmese refugees are gathering at the border. Yingjiang County has experienced influxes of 10000 refugees, said Mi. Mi Bingxing: "So far, the number of refugees keeps growing. Lots of people are staying at Burma's border, around 70000. About 60000 of them are flocking at China--Burma border, another 10000 have flowed into our region." These Burmese refugees are in a really difficult situation, homeless, without food and clothing, said Mi Bingxing. Yet CCP's regime did not offer any help to them, all aids they have gotten so far came from local churches. Mi Bingxing: "They (the regime) said that's Burma's internal affairs....saying they cannot intervene with it. The ...
