At Tiger Kingdom in Chiang-Mai, Thailand, tourists pay £10 to spend 30 minutes petting lion and tiger cubs or for cash strapped travellers just £5 will allow them to spend a nervous 30 minutes with 100 pound fully grown beasts! The big cats have all been hand reared and visitors are given strict instructions about what not to do when petting the tigers. These include not touching the face, head or front paws, and approaching the tiger from behind so it doesn’t think you want to play.
