This is a kind of outdoors entertainment that is put on to please the masses. It is what people used to watch in the old days before the era of television and soap operas. There is plenty of fun and laughter but also plenty of singing. It is easy to spot a likay from a mile away. First there are the very bright lights and extremely loud sound system. Then when you get nearer you will notice the actors are wearing brightly coloured costumes that twinkle under the lights. These shows are often put on for free at funerals or other events. If you like a particular actor or actress you can give them a garland of paper money.

The real name is Wat Pa Luangta Bua Yannasampanno. The monks at this temple have a reputation of looking after stray tigers. They started with a baby tiger cub but now the tigers outnumber the monks two to one. During the night, the tigers are kept in cages. But during the day they are taken for a walk to a nearby canyon. Here, tourists are allowed to interact with the tigers in a limited way. For a 300 baht donation, you are allowed to have your picture taken as many times as you like sitting with the tigers. The donations are being collected so that they will have enough money to build a better environment for the tigers on a small man-made island.
