Map loved tigers and lions. Every time when she saw their pictures she would make the roaring sounds. So daddy and mommy thought it would be fun to take her to see live tiger at Tiger Kingdom in Chiang Mai.
The first thing we noticed when we arrived at the Tiger Kingdom was that there were rarely any local Thais here. Most were foreign tourists. The place was very commercialized. There were multiple computer terminals where you could book the tickets yourselves with the helps of the Tiger Kingdom people.

The entry fee per person depended on what type of tigers you wanted to be in the cage with. The big ones costed around 400-500 baht. But the baby tigers were most expensive at 600 baht. Mommy thought it was very strange why people wanted to be in a cage with dangerous animals like tigers. We wanted Map to see live tigers which could be seen from the lobby actually. But since we were here already, we thought we might as well checked it out. Children under 15 years old were not allowed to be in the cage with big tigers, so Map had to go into the cage with baby tigers.

While waiting to get into the cage with baby tigers, Map was looking around at the big tigers' cages. At one point Map nearly became a finger food for a big tiger. Map put her hands into big tigers' cage when nobody looking. Fortunately, daddy caught that in time. Whew!!

Which one is more fierce?
A couple of times, Map tried to kick the baby tigers. Guess she didn't know what they really were.
