Tiger Kingdom Phuket is part of a breeding program of tigers in Phuket. Safe and controlled interaction with animals in the center is an effective educational tool to encourage public awareness and understanding of wildlife. The animals themselves have been socialized since birth and enjoy all the personal attention!

This is not a Zoo but a combination of Tiger Park and Restaurant. The Tiger Kingdom is the Ultimate for big cat lovers. you will see tigers; they are not aggressive as you think. Tiger Kingdom Phuket is a fairly new attraction in the area of Kathu. Tiger Kingdom Phuket is a park and restaurant where you can play and touch with tigers and also have a good lunch here. At the Tiger Kingdom, you can choose to play and touch puppy tigers, small tigers and big tigers. There is friendly staff helping you with your choice. When you arrive over there, you can choose what tiger you want to see and touch (small, baby, big). Once you’re in the park and you get to a cage, there’s an instructor that guides you in and lets you get close to the different tigers.

Tiger Welfare

The welfare of our animals is our top priority and we are committed to providing the best care possible. Our animals are never chained, sedated, declawed or defanged. Daily human contact helps to create a bond between tiger and keeper and makes our big cats responsive to positive reinforcement training. Our tigers have no fear of humans and do not see us as prey, as such they do not feel any aggression towards people and are very relaxed around us.

Our aim is to try and educate our visitors regarding the plight of the wild tiger, and we hope that our animals cannot only provide a once in a lifetime experience but can also inspire others to care about tigers as much as we do.
