Aussie attacked by Phuket tiger returns to Kingdom

PHUKET: The Australian tourist who was mauled by a Phuket tiger last year returned to Tiger Kingdom yesterday to visit the big cats.


“This is my first time on the island since the last visit twelve months ago. My leg is good… it healed well,” said Paul Goudie, who immediately set off for Tiger Kingdom with his wife Jennifer and son Jake, once they arrived in Phuket.


“The doctor took the muscle from the other leg and put it over here [the injured leg]. It took four months to heal; I went back to work in February. However, it is all about [having] a good attitude. I’m not angry at anyone.”


In October last year, Mr Goudie had just had his photograph taken inside a cage with a tiger and was struggling to stand up when one of the Tiger Kingdom employees watching the animal went to steady him and prevent him from falling on the big cat.

Anyone who wants to participate in this type of entertainment should be required to put their head in the Tigers mouth, first.

Don't we all "put our heads in the Tigers mouth" once we pass immigration in Thailand? biggrin.png

Not close to an in-person encouter with a live tiger. Immigration might be a pain, but not life threatening .... thumbsup.gif

Immigration just opens the Tiger's cage door.

Walk though Thai immigration, and then you are in the Thai Tiger's den.

Many here have been eaten by "Big Tiger." biggrin.png
