Pattaya Trip Part 6 (Final): Taking My Grandson to the Tiger Park 🐯

Tiger Park Pattaya

After a night of contemplation, we devised a more cunning plan. The elimination of the nephews is still ongoing, as neither the plan to tire them out at Thailand's largest water park, Ramayana, nor the attempt to lure them onto a water slide has been successful.

Yesterday, we were driving around the Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Pattaya when our nephews and nieces suddenly asked if they could visit the dinosaur park. Oops! We were supposed to be at the tiger zoo, not the dinosaur park. So, I quickly used the discount program I knew about, which I thought could be used for the tiger zoo. But guess what? It couldn't be used for the dinosaur park!

The children finally gave in. It was either the tiger park or nothing, since their aunt was paying. "Auntie's the boss!" they exclaimed, laughing. Despite their uncertainty, they bravely descended into the unknown.

Upon arriving at the seemingly quiet entrance, I was surprised to find a large crowd. After contacting the staff and presenting my discount coupon, I made the payment. The staff then provided me with essential information about visiting the tiger park.

The tiger park staff told us that this tiger park was relocated from Chiang Mai, which we had visited before. There are a total of approximately 190 tigers, ranging in age from newborns to those nearing retirement. However, only tigers that are pre-pubescent are allowed to be viewed by visitors, as tigers in their reproductive prime are fierce and difficult to control. What a pity!

Officials explain the regulations for close-up tiger viewing.

Today, we will be visiting two tiger enclosures: the Smallest and the Big Cat. Visitors must stay in groups and be accompanied by staff at all times. The staff will guide us through each open tiger enclosure. Before entering the Smallest enclosure, we will be given a tour of the exhibit.

The smallest tiger we saw.

Upon entering the cage, the staff shared several tips on approaching the tiger for petting or taking photos. One of the tips was to approach from behind. The tigers displayed in this section were approximately two months old. I encouraged all my nephews to take photos with the tigers and get close to them. Of course, tigers of this size wouldn't be able to do much. Just wait for the Big Cats, you'll see. Hehehe.

Take photos with fun.

After exiting the tiger cub enclosure, we arrived at our intended destination, the Big Cat enclosure. However, we were met with disappointment as children under the age of 15 were not permitted entry due to safety concerns. Despite our pleas, entry was denied, leaving us hungry for more. We had to settle for a less satisfying experience.

Upon entering the tiger enclosure, the most important instruction given by the officials was to stay together as a group and to follow their instructions. We believe that this instruction is self-evident, as visitors would naturally prioritize their safety and follow the guidance of the experts in such a situation.

My nephews and nieces gradually approached the tiger. I was on the edge of my seat, taking photos and hoping for the best. But alas! The tiger ignored them and even shook its head. What a disappointment!

I didn't want to join the tiger's den, but I did.

The escape from the tiger cage was successful, thanks to the strict adherence to the instructions provided by the officials. However, the attempt to eliminate the nephew was unfortunately unsuccessful. Nevertheless, there is still ample time to try again. 5555+

While the children were enjoying the tiger-viewing path prepared by the tiger park, we decided to take a walk around the park to plan our next move. The tigers in the cages were no longer young enough to perform or take pictures with tourists, as most of them were over two years old and in their breeding age.

The tiger enclosure is secured by an electrified fence, which provides an additional layer of protection against unforeseen incidents.

Each tiger enclosure displays a name tag indicating the name, sex, and age of the tigers, along with various warning signs. The enclosures appear spacious and clean, and some even include swimming pools.

The children were quite impressed with their visit to the tiger park. They had only seen tigers on TV before, so being able to see them up close, touch them, and ask questions was a real treat. Many of the children were very interested and their imaginations ran wild. Some even suggested sending the tigers to fight Thanos from The Avengers! However, it seems that Dr. Strange would be the victor in that battle.

The chattering of children filled the car as they drove back to Bangkok. The sounds of their excited voices echoed throughout the vehicle, making it difficult to sleep. It seemed as though the children had thoroughly enjoyed their two-day trip to Pattaya, and their parents would likely be hearing about it for days to come.
