Tiger Kingdom Phuket

Overview

2.8

Tiger Kingdom in Phuket is the second Tiger Kingdom venue offering tiger interaction opportunities. Located in the heart of Phuket, this is first and foremost a business which is evident by the impressive entrance way, the array of computers lined up with options for guest to peruse and the very enthusiastic helpful staff who immediately latch onto you as soon as you arrive. The prices are high but no one around seems to care as they get their numbers and are processed like a factory line through the tiger photo ops.

Interactions

Tiger-tourist interactions often involve unnatural behaviors and environments that can lead to welfare issues. If you're looking for ethical and welfare-friendly tiger experiences, avoid places offering interactions.
