For all animal lovers visiting the island of Phuket, the one famous attraction that stands out as a truly wild and incredible experience is Tiger Kingdom.

Located just a short drive from the bustling streets of  Patong and Phuket Town. Tiger Kingdom transports you into a jungle setting that seems a world away. As you enter through the gates, you’re immediately struck by the peaceful atmosphere and the distinctive rumbling purrs that serve as an audible reminder of the massive felines residing within.

The centerpiece of Tiger Kingdom is the large enclosure where these magnificent striped cats reside. But these aren’t ordinary enclosures – they are spacious, naturalistic habitats designed to mimic the tigers’ native environs with plenty of trees, vegetation, pools, and even a sizeable creek running through.These enclosures allow enough space for visitors to walk through and get to be up close and personal with the animals, while also being safe in the environment and watched by the guides. The tigers can often be spotted lounging in the sun, playfully batting at the creek’s waters, or exploring their territory with a lazy, graceful saunter.

Now of course, the highlight for most visitors is the opportunity to actually enter the tiger enclosure and spend quality time in the presence of these apex predators. But fear not, because extraordinary safety measures are in place to ensure this is an absolute secure experience with our lovely animals. Groups are up and closely monitored by all guides and are only allowed one by one with the pristine predators to ensure a safe adventure. The tigers are raised from birth to be comfortable around humans in controlled conditions like these and more.

Once inside the enclosure, you will find yourself just an arm’s length away from the tigers, as the professional handlers are always nearby to provide information and ensure everything goes smoothly, making sure you understand how to interact with the predators. The sense of amazement is profound as you observe every little nuance the way their muscles ripple beneath that iconic orange and black stripped coat, the power exuded by their large paws and teeth, and those piercing eyes that seem to stare right through you, giving you chills as you make your way through the kingdom of Tigers step by step.

For many, the true highlight is the chance to interact directly with the tigers during the photography and petting sessions. Following the handlers’ careful instructions, you can actually sit or lay beside these beautiful beasts for an up-close photo opportunity that will astound your friends and family back home. Always make sure you are following the orders and directions of the guides and handlers in order to keep a safe environment for you and those around you. With supervision, you can even run your hands across their soft fur and feel the raw power lying just beneath that striped coat.
