Best place - Clicking Photo with Tiger ?

[craige1]

Can you please recommend a best place in Bangkok/Pattaya/Phuket where I can click a photo along with an tiger !? 

 

PS: I know many places are unethical and I am a animal lover but friends are pressuring to have atleast one photo with a tiger and guess I have to get one!

It is not a matter of ethics, but you do understand that the tiger must be heavily sedated... I mean, would you really want to get in a cage with a tiger that wasn't? 

 

That said, if you are coming to Chiang Mai there is a tiger place here where you can lay around with the tiger and they will snap your photo for you.. 

 

Just search google to see if there is one near Pattaya...

If you are really an animal lover you wouldn't give in on pressure and tell them that you have principles.

Absolutely none - please don't do it.

Tell your friends to sod off.

you can have some really good pics with many tigers if you like.

tell your friends to bring a light aluminum ladder to the tiger zoo, climb over the fence at the far corner and call the tigers over ....  don't worry, they will come running to get their photos taken.

By catering to your friends, you are empowering and encouraging the zoo to do more unnatural things with the wild animals in cages.

Tell your friends that it's not going to happen.

With today's modern tech it can be easily be done via Photoshop using a computer. Have you considered doing that yourself or going to a computer graphic expert to do it for you?

Very easy to do, switch backgrounds etc, takes 10 minutes !! Can put you anywhere you want these days.

Not sedated at all, tigers sleep during the day.

I was in with one (CM), and the photographer woke it up to get a better shot, holy cow it moved fast.

In these cases I always hope the tiger would reconsider his options and bite the head off the person whoever wanted his picture taken.

Good  and let them know why !

[steven100]

suggest to your friends as a compromise they can take a shot sitting on your back while your naked and chained to a post.

The same goes for all the other wild animals that are on the streets, just waiting to have their photos taken!
