All Work & No Play - NO WAY!Sundays & Mondays are the days off for people working at the Ministry centre here in Thailand. So Monday morning after sleeping in and then enjoying a homemade breakfast of eggs and toast, Rebekah and I took the motorbike to the SriRacha Tiger Zoo. The zoo is famous for the fact that they have tigers that nurse baby pigs and Pigs that nurse baby tigers.
For 350 baht or $10.00, we got to see all the animal exhibits, the Crocodile show, the Tiger Show and the best one the Elephant Show. They had asked for volunteers at the Elephant Show, so of course I put my hand up and was subsequently asked to come down - so I did. The elephants tried to sit on me, gave me a butt massage and pretended to walk on me...When in Thailand :D
There are many photo opportunities at the zoo, for 150 baht or $5 you can have your picture taken bottle feeding baby tigers, holding baby crocodiles, sitting with the chimps or with a boa constrictor. We had hoped to get out pictures taken with the elephant lifting us up in His trunk but by the time we had gotten to it, it had closed. I was also up for getting my picture taken with the full grown tiger, but again the opportunity had passed.It was a beautiful facility, with gorgeous flora and made for a relaxing day. I especially enjoyed the coconuts that they would crack open allowing you to drink the sweet fresh coconut water from.
