Amazing Thai...

Have you seen a cub(i mean the young of tiger)??!!
Ahh!! You must have.. But tell me this, have you ever held it on your hands??

I had been to Thailand during my winter vacation. (Thai??!! but why?) I personally wasn't very thrilled with this place initially. After a lot of contemplation i decided to search online for adventures in Thai. I was quite stupefied to see enormous sites of attraction!! There was a pause when i saw 'that' picture-a baby carrying a cub!! That very moment i was filled with copious energy and absolutely convinced about the destination!

Thai is a very beautiful place with the beaches on one side and sky-scrappers on the other. A perfect blend of fashion and tourism without compromising on the religion. It is renowned for the Gem Factory and Thai Massage. But here i want to blog none about these!

I would certainly not call it a zoo! It was different from a zoo in a lot of aspects. Animals(and birds) are free from an enclosure of wires or bars,you are directly allowed to feed the animals(in fact you get to feed the giraffe after climbing a near by building about 2 storeys!) and you go sooo close to the wild(of course in your car!!) that you are just a whisker away from it! Lot of shows featuring the dolphins, sea lion, elephants etc just to provide entertainment amidst the long tiring walks....

'Photograph,photograph!!! Just 40 Baht per person. Be it the mother or cub!!Just 40 Baht. Come on come on..' I heard someone screaming on top of their voice. And there was the majestic Tigress and the cute cub! My father wanted to take pictures with the Tigress but i was tilted towards the cub. In a jiffy we decided it would be the cub(my convincing skills!hats off). My mother,certainly apprehensive for both the tigress and the cub(moreover we needed a photographer!!)...

The cub was so restless when we(myself and dad) held it first! It wanted to get off my hand with the cacophonous screech! It took not more than a couple of seconds for it to adjust(my controlling skills,hats off again!). Then the trainer gave us a feeding bottle with milk to feed the cub. MY GOD, that is it. The cub, so co-operative, offered different poses for photography!! It was doing its business and we were doing ours,cuddling it. Suddenly its restless again! Well the bottle of milk was done. We handed the cub back to the trainer heading our way to the next task....

Those moments while i was carrying the cub,it felt so pleasant,admirable and satisfying. Thailand is certainly is a place to see....


Just additional information, most tour packages would not include Phuket. It'll carry only Pattaya and Bangkok. Do not forget to include Phuket!!
