My Time With The Tigers

Thailand is such an amazing country. I had the privilege of visiting Chiang Mai for two weeks last November, and plan to go back this November as well. Aside from the beautiful countryside and warm culture, there are just some flat out freaking awesome things to do, like getting into the cage with three giant tigers.

There were a lot of tigers to choose from, there were the kittens, teenage tigers (o the acne), all the way up to the giant tigers. My friend Zach and I talked it over and decided that kittens were for little girls and adolescent tigers were for the weak, and we wanted full of, melt your face off power, so we went with the giant tigers.

Let me say, because people always ask, not these tigers were not sedated or trained or sleeping, and no this isn't photoshopped. This is the real deal and you can do it to if you visit Chiang Mai. What you don't see in the pictures is that there were two men in the cage with us, protected by kebab sticks with pieces of raw chicken on them. Whenever a tiger turned to eat our delicious looking legs the guys would put the chicken in front of their noses and guide them away. We were told to stay behind them at all times, and to scream like little girls if they came for us. Zach and I also had an agreement that if one of us gets eaten the other had to film it so others would believe our story of the most awesome way to die.
