Tiger Kingdom Friday - It was amazing x 2



This experience was just as good as the Elephant Park, it was magical ------------ and then some. 

More to write later... Uploading pics first

This was one of the best days so far. All the days just keep getting better and better. I met lots of cool people and made some new friends. We are all meeting up for dinner tonight.

This place is so cool!

Thank you God...
 
They charge for your time in the cage, babies and cubs are more expensive. The big tigers are cheaper because they might kill you so it's a trade-off, less money but you may die. I did not pay to sit with the cubs. No danger in that. The big dog's gonna play with the big cats.  
 
It cost me 720 baht for 15 minutes with the big cats, there were four in the cage. 420 baht to get into the cage and 300 baht for a photographer. Worth every baht!
 
Tiger Kingdom is a place for strictly tourist. As I sat comfortably waiting for my number to be called I did some people watching. Tourist watching. One family from France, mom, dad, and son about 5 or 6 were interesting. The mom and child did not go in to hang with the big cats. Just dad. The mom said no fucking way! I don't speak french but I got that. She would not let the child in either. "we'll watch from out here" I interpreted her saying.
 
The younger tourist, early 20's, all wanted in with the big cats. Young and fearless. They lead ordinary lives back home and this is their moment to do something special, something interesting and  profound. They heard the words "carpe diem" being whispered into their ears, and they seized it. Today is their days. Now is their time. This is why they put up with customers with shitty attitudes. This is why  they went to school. This is why they bite their tongues during times of great frustration at work.  Now step aside while I put my life in jeopardy to get in the cage with a six hundred pound predator that could snap my neck with the greatest of ease.
 
All the people at Tiger Kingdom fit into one of two categories, couples or families. I was the only one flying solo. Ninety percent of the girls were smoking hot with huge racks. This is the kind of vacation smoking hot girls get to go on. I guess the fat ugly girls go on Cruise ships and spend their time standing around the buffet tables getting their monies worth. That's the logic of fools and morons. I had a sister that went on a three day cruise after getting married and gained eleven pounds. Think about that. Almost four pounds per day. As soon as she got hitched, time to get fat! "I don't care how I look any more. I am married". Doesn't that sound special.
 
I end the afternoon with a foot massage...
 
Heaven... I'm in heaven.

I love Chiang Mai. Every day the world get a little brighter and a little better.

I'm in the massage parlor and getting my foot massage. The girl is cute, really cute. Maybe 30. I hope she's got skills.

I'm writing as she begins the massage. She makes a comment about my writing and says, "Get details". It's actually great advice. I tell her I'm writing about her "She's very beautiful" I say. Then she calls me "a Joker".

No stick in sight :-)

Somehow they sense it. I don't need the stick for awhile.
