Tiger Park and Restaurant
111/88 Moo 7 Kathu, Kathu, Phuket; 076 323 311; www.tigerkingdom.net
An opportunity to get a close-up of these amazing Indochinese tigers of different ages and sizes. All tigers are raised and tamed since the first day of their life by experienced trainers. In the park you can touch, pat, and play with tigers of any age. The smallest tigers are very cheerful and they like to play with visitors. Tigers in Tiger Kingdom are not drugged or tranquilized. If you gently stroke a cat, it will feel ticklish and irritated, especially to a sleeping tiger. The best method is to cuddle and stroke the cat firmly to make it feel comfortable. There are two restaurants inside the part where you can enjoy your lunch, with an amazing view of tigers.
Open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Buffet lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Starts at THB 800 for big tigers and at THB 450 for buffet lunch.
