Phuket FantaSea

Overview

2.6

FantaSea in Phuket, as described by its own site, is a place that displays Thai culture. It is in fact, more akin to a cultural theme park rather than an animal attraction. The main features here are a series of shops with a big two hour acrobatics and dance show later in the evening. However, there are elephant rides available around the grounds as well as a small jungle adventure section containing a number of animals including two tigers - ironically white tigers and therefore Bengal, a species not native to Thailand.

Interactions

Tiger-tourist interactions often involve unnatural behaviors and environments that can lead to welfare issues. If you're looking for ethical and welfare-friendly tiger experiences, avoid places offering interactions.
