Yeah probably one of the better ways to die from a predator not like a bear that will just hold you down and start eating you alive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I took the kids to the tiger temple in sai yok years ago, the temple had over 100 tigers, some huge, the monks used to let you take them for walks on a chain thick enough to hold the Titanic, an English girl was attacked while walking one I heard and almost lost her leg. Did you worry about the tigers with your kids ? (Assuming they were young and not adults who can make their own choices ) . I have a big fear of tigers and lions even if I will never come In contact with them . It makes me super uneasy seeing people having them around them uncaged and unchained. I honestly think if I found out my Mrs had taken the kids to a place with tigers or lions loose I would leave her and take the kids Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been to that place a few times with my kids. I’ve got a load of pics somewhere, like the tiger kittens suckling on sows. Evidently the most tigers in one place in the world. I want to take my grandson there sometime. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sriratcha is still open Charts, don't know about the temple however as there was a bust there, freezers full of dead cats, they were found to be breeding them for the Chinese medicine market. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also like the crocodile farm, I had old videos of my wife and daughter having crocodile eggs hatching in their hands. Very interesting talking to the people there. They explained how the temperature the eggs are kept in decides not only the sex of the crocodile but wether they will be passive or aggressive. some great places to visit in Thailand, it’s not all about sex and booze and drugs ! LOL ! Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
