  This place made me sad. For 800 baht you get ten minutes inside a cafe with a tiger and pose for pictures with them, no interaction or anything, they just pose them with these little bamboo sticks. You need a friend doing the same package to take pics of your or you have a to hire a photographer for an extra 300 baht. They just force the tigers to pose with tourists all day, it’s no life for them. But you can’t blame them, they wouldn’t have the funding to take care of the tigers without the photography tourism and these tigers would get poached living 2 minutes in the wild. Anyways, the enclosures are small, tigers look bored out of their minds, but they are well fed. But there’s something very heartbreaking seeing a powerful animals being used as something just to take photos with, I don’t know what the solution is. Anyways, I wish I didn’t go.

  This place is phenomenal. The staff are all very friendly and polite. Prices are high for Baht but also absurdly reasonable considering what you get, especially if you're converting from a strong currency. The trainers are professional but not above the odd joke. They were very clear about the rules and we never once felt like we were in danger while in the enclosures. Interacting with the tigers is an incredible experience. They are definitely not drugged, just raised in captivity and trained to discourage any aggression towards humans. Highly recommend at least the young tigers and the big tigers.

  Tiger kingdom was my dream come true!!! In 2012 I found out it existed and it became number one on my bucket list, five years later and I finally got to go to this magical place! It was unreal! I was screaming with excitement before I even was done paying. It is a truly incredible experience unlike any other. The staff is very well trained, careful and professional. The area was clean and the tigers were beautiful. They have a photographer who takes awesome pictures for you and helps you with pose ideas then you get the hard drive with pictures of it. The tigers are gorgeous and perfect.

  The experience is short but oh so sweet! The staff is very kind, professional and attentive. I didn't pay for the picture package but the staff took plenty of beautiful pictures of me using my phone for a tip. I think this is more worth it in my opinion. Ok the tigers, they are sweet and tamed. One of the tigers was not interested in interacting, he kept getting up and walking away. It was hilarious! It was a nice time and well worth the money. Plus the town it is in is really pretty with other cool attractions like a monkey & snake park, a shooting range and ATV rentals! I say do it!

  Definitely worth a visit. Awesome, animals seem very well taken care of. We never felt like the trainers weren’t in control. Obviously there is considerable risk when talking about getting into a cage with multiple large animals that are incredibly capable. We went into the lion cage which had three lions at once. This seemed kind of intimidating because there are only two trainers and they are armed with a wooden Baton. The trainers seemed to handle the animals very gently and their main focus is avoidance. The guests can’t get in front of the cats. And the trainers distract the animals very well with treats and just getting in the way. The giant tigers were amazing. Very big....... well giant. And they even seemed docile till one of the trainers started playing with the cat with a box on a rope. The reach of the tigers is very cool to watch. The animals are very aware of their surrounding. I’m by no means a professional but They don’t seems as if they have been drugged. I have been around some actual large wild cats and they would destroy you if they had a chance for just getting near you. These are not wild cats. They have been hand raised in this facility since birth...... at least that’s the parks story. Personally my wife and I had a great experience and would recommend. The animals seem to be very well taken care of and exercised. The animals all look very healthy.
