Tiger Topia
Overview
0.8
Located outside of Pattaya, Tiger Topia, formerly known as Sri Racha Tiger Zoo is predominantly patronised by the Asian community. A lot of the interactions and strange photo ops are gone. Additionally, the 400+ tigers that were regularly reported has now dropped to around 100. The circus show continues, as do some of the tiger selfie options. However, the speed breeding of cubs seems to have lessened the conditions overall have yet to improve.
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.
