Tiger Kingdom

Yesterday we visited Tiger Kingdom, a brand-new attraction in Chiang Mai. For 300 baht, you have your choice of two options: you can play with one-month-old tiger cubs for half an hour, or you can enter the enclosure of some older (much more active) tigers and interact with them. Guess which option we chose?

We didn't feel much like cheating death yesterday, so we picked the baby tigers. First we got to see the mom and dad tigers in their rather small and sad cages:





There were four babies, and they were extremely cute, although my girls were still terrified and wouldn't go near them. Oh well. I guess it would be weird if they weren't scared of tigers. These guys aren't too scary, though:













Here are the older tigers. We did see some tourists go into the cage, and they emerged with all their limbs. I don't think I would do it, though.
