Tiger Kingdom
Phuket
Come pet a tiger! Tigers at Tiger Kingdom are free to wander in an enclosure without chains and have been hand raised by their trainers since they were young, bonding with the tigers and using repetition, trust and encouragement to allow them to see human as friends. However, DO treat these big cats with respect!
The best way to be with a tiger is to cuddle and stroke it firmly to make it feel comfortable. The cats are handled and stroked every day and the roughest of petting won't bother them.
Baby tigers are playful and may be a bit rough. Just be careful!
Visitors to the site have several options: spend 10 minutes with baby tiger cubs (2-4 months), small tigers (5-10 months), medium sized tigers (11-15 months) and with big tigers (16-36 months).
Stay for lunch and even if you don't want to get close to the tigers, the restaurant is enjoyable to sit and watch the tigers play in their enclosures.
