I'm a little behind in my blogging, my apologies. The day after we got back from trekking, we decided to hit up
Tiger Kingdom before leaving Chiang Mai. At Tiger Kingdom you can play with baby tigers, medium sized and big tigers. This place is different from other tiger pens in that they are fully aware and are not drugged. Apparently tigers are asleep 18 hours a day, so most of the time they are just sleepy. We decided to go into the baby and medium sized pens because the big tigers were just a little too scary.
The babies were adorable. Little Mimi was the youngest, only 3 months old. She was pretty playful and even bit Kasey. Baby bites don't hurt so she was fine, but I imagine a bite from a medium or big tiger would be a little different. :) After playing with several of the babies, we went to the medium sized tigers. They were still pretty damn huge if you ask me. The handlers had us go up to them from behind and pet them and lay on their backs. It's a must see if you're in Chiang Mai, but pretty pricey at around 840 baht ($28 US). Back to Bangkok before heading over to Cambodia! We're all really excited to get moving again, but it is hard to live out of your pack when you're moving so much. We're anxious for the day we can spend over 3 days in the same town.
