What a day!! We hired a driver for the day that took us around to some of the sites in Chiang Mai. First, we decided we could not pass up the opportunity to get in the cage of a tiger, so that was our first stop. The decision was whether to get in with an extra small, small, medium or big tiger. We opted for the biggest tiger they had! We were allowed 15 mins with the tiger. The tigers seemed like they were drugged but they swear they were not.
We asked if the tigers had ever attacked someone while in the cage and our guide just starred at the ground! I will take that as a yes!
It was pretty cool getting the opportunity to pet a tiger. I do always feel sad for animals that are cooped up though. They did have a really nice facility for the tigers there.

I think they are such beautiful creatures!
Our next stop was the monkey park! This is a gibbon, really cool!
Another sad situation! We bought some fruit and veggies to feed them and they just went wild.
They put a little show on for us that was beyond hilarious, Collin and Justin were cracking up days after. The best part of the show was the commentary. This was a very smart monkey. All the numbers were upside down and mixed up and the monkey could always find the number you told him to.
Weight lifting campion!
Monkey love! He was trying to give Justin a kiss on the head! How sweet!
Flowers for sale, just 20 baht! I have some really funny videos of the monkey show that I will try to upload at some point.
Next stop was the orchid farm! They were so beautiful and smelt so good!
The last stop for the day was the temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. The temple is located on the top of a mountain over looking the city!
