Tiger Park @ Phuket
Overview
6.4
Tiger Park Phuket only opened its doors at the beginning of 2019. The facility is a second venue operating in conjunction with Tiger Park @ Pattaya. The facility is designed in much the same way and follows the same managerial structure and approach. The facility offers the same types of photo packages as well as offering up numerous statements regarding drugging, chains, forceful interactions with tigers and the tiger trade. Currently the area is larger than that of Tiger Park @ Pattaya with tigers having more space.
