March 15, 20196 yr Work has begun on a new (replacement?) Tiger Kingdom on the road leading to the Big Buddha. Vegetation on the formerly overgrown lot has been bulldozed and a new workers camp has materialized. It has been rumored for some time that a tiger theme park will be sited there, and it appears work has now commenced. One of the workers at the new camp confirmed it was to be a "tiger zoo". Perhaps the controversial nature of such an attraction is part of the reason for little information forthcoming about the project. The site is on Soi Yot Sane on the lower slopes of the hill before the first elephant camp.

March 18, 20196 yr Seems the Dolphinarium lead the way to exploitative "zoos". I predict that this new Tiger Kingdom will be a huge hit with the Chinese.....
