Chiang Mai Chiang Mai is beautifully situated in Northern Thailand, nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. Among other things, it's famous for its trekking in the surrounding forests with visits to various hill tribes, such as the Long Necks, elephant riding and tiger sanctuaries.

Another Tiger Attack survivor!
You were the lucky one with only a few scratches. My visit there late January this year, left me with a two large bites from a 1 year old tiger. Just missed my femoral artery. 54 stitches. 11 days in hospital with a bad infection in my leg. So please let it be known - Tiger Kingdom is a very dangerous place despite its safe appearance - and visitors there are playing a game of Russian roulette playing with caged animals that one day will kill someone. It's anything but cute!

you guys are assholes to put this up! if you were badly bitten and needed stitches then fine, i'd get that. But for fucks sake! it was a couple of scratches!!! what do you expect from a tiger in captivity that is yearning to be set free into the wild. stop making such a big deal out of it.

I appreciate the comments made here. First of all, I wrote this mainly for my family and friends, but if other people are getting something out of it too, that's great. Secondly, I'm sorry other people have been badly hurt at Tiger Kingdom, and hope that this will help other people take caution when visiting wild animals. I don't think that's making a big deal out of it!
