Close enough for you?

I've never been - despite spending lots of time in Thailand - but the reports I've heard and read are that the monks look after the tigers well and most importantly they are well fed before meeting tourists....

More in Kachanaburi, Thailand

I'm not sure about the zoos - and I think the only place to see them wild - very small chance is from an elephant tour in India.

Hope that helps Reply to this

I've visited the Tiger Temple nr Kanchanaburi a couple of days ago, and was very impressed. You can see some pictures on my blog. For more details you can log onto their website at www.tigertemple.org . I hope this helps.

Cheers

Well you get chance to see Royal Bengal tigers at Bardia National Park in Nepal, but the tigers are decreasing daily due to poaching so it all depends upon luck. Well I was lucky enough to see tiger's foot prints and tiger's poop. :D Reply to this
