Tiger Kingdom Phuket, Wildlife park in Phuket, Thailand
Description
Tiger Kingdom Phuket is a wildlife park where visitors can interact with and photograph tigers of different ages, from young cubs to fully grown adults. The facility provides separated enclosures for each size group, maintained by trained staff under controlled conditions.
History
The facility was founded as part of Thailand's tiger park network and has grown to house hundreds of animals. It represents efforts to maintain tigers in controlled settings for both conservation and educational purposes.
Culture
Staff members develop bonds with tigers through daily care routines that blend traditional Thai practices with contemporary training approaches. Visitors can observe the focused connections that form through these regular interactions.
Practical
Visitors must bring a valid passport for admission, and children under 15 can only interact with younger tigers while supervised by an adult. The early morning hours tend to offer the best conditions for photography and interaction.
Did you know?
Guests can step directly into tiger enclosures without barriers to take photographs, an experience guided by professional handlers throughout. This level of unobstructed access to large cats is uncommon at tourist facilities and relies on strict safety measures.
