Day 5
Today was quite the day. We went to get breakfast at our hotel (Mercure) and ate some adventurous fruit. Then it was off to Tiger Kingdom. We got there by a "Tuk-Tuk" I really like those things, kinda fun! We got there and bought tickets to see the smallest tigers and the big tigers! We went to the baby cage first! It is a really big cage with about 5 or 6 little tigers in it they each have there own trainer. They were all very sleepy though which was kind of a bummer. Tigers are always active at night because thats when its best to hunt, even though they dont go out and hunt here they still have the same habits. We were able to sit with them and pet them. All the tigers in Tiger Kingdom are born and raised in the "Kingdom". Then they are mostly released into zoo's. Anyways they would wake up every once in a while and play and we took tons of pictures with them. They were all so adorable!!!! Then we headed up to see the big ones. They were wide awake! My dad stayed out of the cage and took a video of the whole thing. I went in with another guy. We each basically took turns with the two tigers, petting them and laying with them. It was super scary but so amazing. I felt surprisingly very safe! After that we went and got some lunch at the place which overlooked one of the tigers cages and those ones were way active and fun to watch. We did a doctor fish spa treatment where you basically stick your feet in a tank full of these fish that come nibble on your feet, it felt like when your feet "fall asleep" then wake up and you get that really tingly feeling. Then we headed out for dinner and called it a night.
