Yesterday I saw a wonderful movie / documentary on Dutch television and I would like to recommend this beautiful story to everybody. The sceneries, the colors and the images are amazing - truly a piece of art. The story really touched us. It's a beautiful story that everybody should see and most important LEARN from.

Buddha's Lost Children is a breathtaking, true and honest story about love, compassion and dedication. It's a story about children's journey. Their transformation from neglected village boys to self-confident novices.


In the borderlands of Thailand's Golden Triangle, a rugged region known for its drug smuggling and impoverished hill tribes, one man devotes himself to the welfare of the region's children. A former Thai boxer, turned Buddhist monk, Phra Khru Bah Neua Chai Kositto (also known as the Tiger Monk), travels widely on horseback, fearlessly spreading prayers, health care, education and tough love to villagers far from the protection and support of governments or non-governmental organizations.

With his Golden Horse Temple he's built an orphanage, school and clinic - a haven for the children of the region, who see him as a shaman, father figure and coach.



These characters will enrich your life with their joy for life, compassion, strength, wisdom and stunning smiles. The respect they have for one another, but also towards their horses (about 150 horses freed from slaughter houses) is a lesson for all of us.

The stunning cinematography, intimate film making and a compelling story make this film an extraordinary experience of a hidden realm.
