tiger kingdom.

if you know me at all you know that im not too keen about pets. i like to say that i am a super picky animal person because i have gotten along with SOME dogs and cats. i am also a pretty picky people person as well. ha.
anyway, this doesnt not mean that i dont appreciate wild life. i actually think tigers are amazing and i cant imagine what if would feel like to be up close to one with no cage in between. and so this is what brings me to "tiger kingdom" in chang mai - not to be confused with the more controversial "tiger temple" in bangkok. it was about a 30 minute tuk tuk ride to "tiger kingdom" with a stop at the orchid farm. tayler, for whatever reason, did not want to go - which i will never understand. how would you not want to cuddle with tigers in thailand?? when you get there you can choose between small, medium or large tigers. i choose large. you in the cage with them and can lay down next to them. play with their tail. take pictures. im sure the tigers are drugged - but i like to believe the "trainers" who say they are just domesticated and used to being around people and that they are tired because its nap time. hmmm. either way, they are beautiful creatures, i did not get attacked and i hope they have a wonderful life at "tiger kingdom."
