White tiger cobs in Bung Chawak Zoo






Recently our family had spent a Saturday visiting the Bung Chawak Zoo, near Suphanburi, about 160km north of Bangkok. The zoo built along the Bung Chawak Lake, with an artificial island also being part, called the Rabbit Paradise.
But the big attraction is: they have lots of the big cats! And lots i mean; lions, tigers, even white tigers, leopard. All ages of tigers and lions, and that includes cubs as well. The entrance fee is very cheap at 20 THB for adult, and 5 THB for child...so for 3 of us, it came at 1.5USD grand total.
And the jackpot: for 20 THB per person you can go into the cub's cage and take photos with them. Now, I try to think long and hard but cant recall any similar photo opp for a steal 60 US cents!! One of the little known specials you dont find many place in the world, being able to hold a baby lion, or a white tiger cub!
