Cant say I have seen any in the wild . Most are brought in from Myanmar or somewhere , into the Tiger Zoos like Sriracha Zoo in Chonbury or maybe to the Monks place at kanchanaburi . Seen a few Buffalo's and couple of monkies :)

They still have wild tigers in some of the national parks. You'd have to be extremely lucky to see one though.

Yes - there are a few, but its very few.

Khao Yai is one area - a woman collecting wild mushrooms was attacked about 18months ago by a tiger that bit her on the shoulder quite badly, but then ran off. The boarder area between Thailand and Cambodia is another area where wild tigers are still seen from time to time and paw prints are still found.

The problem is, because of expanding human habitation, the roaming area of the few reamining wild animals has become so large that it's now near on impossible to work out just how many there are, who's who and where any one animal is at any time. One tiger that was caught and tagged in the Khao Yai area in the mid-90's was then found again a couple years later up on the border area of Cambodia/Thailand.

Yes, that's why I said that. Take a look at the nicely made webpage: http://www.khaosok.com/index.htm

It's a very huge area, covered with old and thick rainforest. A nature lovers dream.

Very few and most of them may be Myanmar tigers lost their way into TL. You have to check their passports.

I think they there are just 100 left at most.
