Tiger kingdom in Chiang Mai . I had chance to have private behind scenes tour of tiger kingdom. It was a lot fun and I learned a lot from seeing it from start to finish .
One of the most Unique Experiences of my life
Do some research. These tigers are often taken from there mothers at a young age and placed in captivity, relying solely on humans for food and care. Therefore they cannot be released into the wild later in life. Do you honestly think you could walk around real tigers so casually? Trainers carry sticks which the Tigers associate with pain - so they act submissively at the sight of them.
If you visit chiang Mai there are plenty of sanctuaries for elephants that have been abused. Much more worthwhile.
Are you sure they're not drugged? All of them were lying down and looked like they were sleeping...this is not normal behaviour for a tiger, especially when someone is laying on their back.
Yes I am sure. The cubs are sleeping too cuz they just chill and play. There is no reason to drug cubs either but they sleep alot. Can I ask your experience with tigers raised since birth in captivity ? They dont hunt or do anything besides chill and play. I know people who have tigers as pets who do same thing at home. They leave the park when they are 3 years old because they get too big.
big cats tend to lay around for long periods.. just like your house cats.
JubrilAgoro just watch videos of tigers on youtube, this is NOT their normal behavior
you speak as if you studied tigers all your life and just read a bunch of random information about tigers on the internet. 😑
I highly doubt these tigers are chill, its not safe to pet tigers. I am certain 100% they are drugging animals to get up close selfies.
Loool I was on the floor when she told you 'Good luck' and your reaction, quality!!
how you would of you reacted haha
WHETHER OR NOT they are drugged, this place breeds in captivity for profit, like Seaworld or the "swim with dolphins" parks in Mexico. When in Chiang Mai, please put your money into a worthy conservation organization like the Elephant Nature Park.
Great video. This guy should have his own TV show! Excellent to watch.
Awesome video! I was just their today and will be posting my experience tomorrow.
I went there a few years ago and only after I had fed the baby and patted the 8 month old one that I started walking around and asking my self questions; why are the little ones remove from their mothers before they are weaned? what really happens to the large ones? they can't all go to zoos, there are not enough zoos; do they get sold to the Chinese as tiger parts? I will have to find out the truth of this.
To answer being removed from mother good point. You wrong about big ones tho. You can go visit there huge playground about 30 mins away if you ask them.
JubrilAgoro Where is this place?
+Jenni van Rooyen is from Chieng Mai Asia thank good day
They get weened from the mother to make them used to humans from early on. Trying to domesticate them.
Hello, how long are you inside in the cage with the tigers?
Hey Jubril, just wanted to tell you that the Thailand videos are fascinating. I have been to a lot of the places you speak about because my wife is from Chiang Mai, but whether I've been to the places in your videos or not, you do a great job with explaining why everyone should at least experience it once in their lifetime. Keep up the great work.
thank you, and hope you and your wife have many more happy years togther
The cubs used for petting exhibits are torn from their mothers shortly after birth, causing emotional pain to both the cubs and the mothers. Imagine what that mother tiger experiences after enduring the long pregnancy and finally giving birth, filled with the instincts to nurture her cubs, and then having them snatched away. The breeders take them away and have people handle them so the cubs will “imprint” on the people instead of doing what is natural and imprinting on their mothers.
Jenni van Rooyen, how long have you worked with tigers? Are you a tiger physic? How do you know what the tigers are thinking? Three and a half months is not a "long pregnancy" and the mothers are not traumatized by having the cubs removed after a short amount of time has passed. They get over it pretty quick. At least they are not being shot at, poisoned or snared here like they would in "the wild." They all look pretty well adjusted and contented to me.
On their website there are 2 Chiang Mai Locations: InTown and just Chiang Mai. I am assuming the InTown is a smaller location for tourists to not have to go as far? Can anyone clarify the differences.
You are on my bucket list.
When you see me.. say hello, or maybe.. kiss!! LOL! Best part of the video!!
We visited a couple of years ago and have been to other Tiger Parks since but this one was by far the best. We felt the animals were well cared for the trainers were mindful and very respectful of the animals. Great place to visit and we hope to come again one day.
Great video! You should have your own TV show! Excellent to watch!! I was in Phuket recently.I would like to recommend the ORANGE CAR PHUKET cheap car rental service, as many people can't leave now because of COVID-19, and taxis are not profitable because of the high cost. On March 15, 2020, I rented two Toyota Sienta passenger vans for 500 baht a day, and it was a great idea. Excellent customer service. The guys were very friendly and helpful and I booked the car easily and quickly. I highly recommend their service and I will definitely contact them again!
Hey, I will be in Chiangmai at the end of November, and am interested in Going to Tiger kingdom. How long does it take to tour the park? And are there any elephant riding tours that you could recommend?
+RCVIKTOR KU Don't. It's widely known for its animal cruelty.
i'm here in chiang mai for the next load of months. this is on my to do list for sure.
For sure enjoy it to the fullest
My friend who passed away a couple years ago had her one wish that she wanted to be cremated and her ashes spread on a baby tiger. Her mom is ready to pay anything, do you think this is a possible place to do that? Like would the staff allow if we contact them and liaise beforehand? Would appreciate your opinion as someone who's been there, thank you!
are you kidding? That is disgusting, poor tiger...
Was there today and it was awesome. I don't think they are drugged as they were all playing and running around. They are nocturnal so they should normally be sleeping during the day. Once you're in the cages, you feel no fear at all. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed
The cubs used for petting exhibits are torn from their mothers shortly after birth, causing emotional pain to both the cubs and the mothers.

lewischar - watch the lion whisperer "Kevin Richardson" and see the difference. Lions, leopards and Hyenas are nocturnal as well and he still takes them for walks in the jungle and doesn't allow people to be close to them in the daytime and he raised all of his animals. There's only one handler that is allowed to man handle his lions because he knows that they trust him. He feeds them horse meet and has a private vet take care of them when they need medical care or dental work. He also makes sure that they are separated in healthy packs with safe hierarchy and he makes sure the Cubs are nurtured by their mother.
@@jennivanrooyen5963 prove it.
Great video. Haha, made me smile.
they are abused and kept in small cages this place should be shut down
Unfortunately won't happen... These are "rescues" and they "further" and "preserve" the breed...
How much did it cost? Also please go to China and see Hong Kong.
they have different packages. Check out their website
Cool bro love your videos.
+Jubril if it is a lion that is sleeping and even tamed it can attack. Lion are different from tigers as more aggressive. Lions hate to be disturbed while sleeping.
Jubril! Did you go back to thailand or this a video from a few years back? I was @ tiger kingdom last month...great experience and trust me people...these tigers are not drugged and nothing to mess with. They will mess you up if you don't respect the space. Btw Jubril, you need to make a video of the club scene at Pattaya next time lol
this was recent video. I went back
Nice! I was there with my family.
Appreciate the incite, but... In the videos they mention the tigers eat chicken as this isn't particularly good for them. Were they feeding on red meat at all? As this is the major source of Taurine which all animals need for muscle growth and CV function. Enjoying some of your other videos, cheers!
+Matthew Holding You're right, tigers need red meat. While chicken is okay for housecats (and even houecats need variety) tigers are adapted for taking down bigger prey than birds. At places like this they're lucky to be getting any meat at all, cub petting place like to keep tigers on formula longer than necessary because it makes cuter pictures, people get to bottle feed them, it's cheaper, and stunts their growth so they stay smaller and easier to handle for longer. If you think that sounds like abuse you're right.
So ... where was the " Scary Behind Scenes Footage"?
I went there some years ago the tigers were in very small cages! (THE BIG ONES)
I look forward to visiting soon. Tell me, how much do they charge to be in at The Tiger Kingdom? And do they have photographers to help take visitors images? Thanks...
One more thing....Did they have the Tiger called Johnny Depp when you were there. He was a scary S.O.B. of a tiger....mean and hungry :)
I dont really remember
Are there many of these type of centres in Thailand? I want to go and this one seems legit.
nah. Only I know of that is like this
i can't wait to go in june. so excited to meet a tiger. they got cheetahs now too.😜can't wait to post on my channel,
Omg i wanna visit!!!
You should be well worth the visit
I gotta go
When the girl said good luck, that was funny. You can take that in two ways.
Friggin awesome, I'd hug one so hard, it'd be worth an eye!
haha nice
Cookieboy70 Deborah Boyd... you are just 1 of the total freaking DoucheBags... !! A Tiger in a Temple is akin to a Person in Prison, only worse - they didn't do anything wrong and they don't stand a living hope of ever getting out alive! Into the mix I throw JubilAgoro, Beter Noire, Cookieboy70, cbrstunter24, lewischar, Steve A... and the rest of the pathetic nitwits who obviously don't give a damn !
Thing is yeah a tiger costs a tone of money to look after so would drugging the tigers be financially viable? I'm not sure that's why I'm asking I font know wether this place is cruel or not but all I know is usually money wins so
They sell them after they finish with them. that's their real profit model. take the video down. stop promoting ignorance please.
What is your Internet business?
ppc marketing
Do you teach people how to do this?
Tiger Kingdom used to be Tiger Temple before it was raided and shut down in 2016 following multiple complaints of trafficking endangered species, illegally selling animals, the possible mistreatment of animals, etc. During the raid authorities discovered things including 40 dead tiger cubs some of them mangled and bloodied in a freezer, cured tiger pelts, tiger claws and skin used to make magic amulets, tiger drinks and dozens of bottles containing dead tiger cubs. Tiger Temple has also faced repeated allegations of animal trafficking & cruelty. Now the park is called Tiger Kingdom and people have witnessed tigers been beat with sticks on the nose, on the head, ears pulled, and have commented on the tiny cages they are kept in when they are not on show and being forced to pose and being touched by tourists. They are fed infrequently and there are stories of their breakfast including drugs to make them docile and almost comatose so they do not attack or complain about being hungry, thirsty, fed up and sad. Thailand is a central route for illicit wildlife trade through south-east Asia, including ivory and rhino horn. Tiger parts, including bone and penis, are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Raids often find the tigers cut in half with their organs preserved on ice. The Tiger Temple had been posing as a sanctuary for tigers while secretly acting as a tiger farm and selling tigers and tiger parts on the black market for an enormous profit. And Animal organisation like PETA have backed up these claims. You can google it and look at the disgusting, heart wrenching photos from the raid on Tiger Temple, now operating as Tiger Kingdom.
great video! Made me put this place on my next itinerary :D
you should not visit. its common sense that the only way anyone can safely get in a cage with an adult tiger is if they are drugged. go if you support animal abuse
This looks way better than the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi where they definitely drug their tigers and also treat them badly... I do really really hope it's true and there's not some dark side to this place too :) Personally I don't agree with keeping animals in captivity for humans to play with and take photos of, I think we should have them in National Parks and we should be trying to encourage them to behave naturally in a natural environment, working on bringing wild tiger numbers up in Thailand again, but at least they seem to be being treated well here. My husband comes from UthaiThani in Thailand where they have tigers still roaming around in the jungle there apparently (not that I've seen one!!) and it's a relatively untouched area in regards to tourism but they still struggle with poachers a lot, but I hope they can keep the wild tiger numbers living there in their natural environment. I have to say though, for captive animals these tigers do look very happy in themselves, but I can't help how I feel and would prefer to see them in their natural environment. Great video Jubril, I've just found you by the way and will be watching/reading with keen interest!! I've been living in Thailand the past ten years, but no online business... maybe I should start thinking outside the box too and get me one of them too! :) All the best and enjoy London, say hello to my home country for me!
I agree
Back when youtubers didnt put their patreon, facebook, instagram, sponsored links, etc within profiles. Fellow Chicagoan here, headed to Thailand in 2 weeks...for 22 days. Not sure if I want to do Tiger Kingdom or the Tiger Park in Pattaya, I'm guessing Chiang Mai is cheaper, more authentic and idk just a better environment. Oh add your instagram, other youtube pages, snapchat links....patreon pages, and add some sponsored links in here bruh.
Back when youtube paid reasonably
In general Thailand treats animals horrifically. I refuse to visit. My friend came back and said never again will he visit these types of attractions or countries that allow them. He said he saw the cats get the crap beat out of them. He did not visit this place but others in Thailand.
I 💗 THAI
Anybody who supports this is totally against animals best interests. Of course this is a place purely for profit none of these cats can ever be released into the wild.
+daveinthailand Places like this even poach tigers in the wild-- it's where they get the cubs in the first place before captive breeding- kill a mother tiger and take her cubs.
There is a lot of money to be made from breeding and rearing these cubs for 3rd parties but i'm not going to mention where I like to keep everything simple too many people look into things.
WHATS UP WITH THE SCRATCH ON HIS ARM AT 4:48!?!?!? MAULED BY TIGER OR ALCOHOL POISONING?! Do you think we can trust him?
I want here before
5555 me also bar
everybody don't be ignorant, don't assuming and don't guess, You have too volunteer and live and train with Tigers in Thailand for little long time and then draw Your conclusions and finding the true and real answers not discriminate and bias ways or because of jealousy because Thai can contain and train Tigers well for public access and make money of it. Because it has been done in the West where Tigers been train as pet so nobody should be surprise ok.
+Bount Pathammavong There's no justification to breed a tiger only to take her cubs away just so they can be used for entertainment.
we just visited Tiger Kingdom today and was blown away. However the only thing that allowed me to go into one of those enclosures was that I thought they were sedated. Oh my God, had I known they werent there would be no chance i would have done that. just saw some stories of people getting hurt. great place, but definitely only ONCE in this lifetime. Stunning creatures and they were WELL fed and cared for. Easy to see that now especially knowing they were not drugged. great video posting!
It's sick how many people in this comment section are PROUD and happy that they've been here..
So where is this "other bigger place" of freedom they will get after this? Are you sure these beautiful creatures get their freedom? So how about the tigers being in cages for 2 years? Have you seen any wide ranges over there for the tigers? And i wonder how natural it is for a wild animal to be petted all day long. I have been to the tiger kingdom in Phuket. And it was all cute but i regret it so badly for supporting the maltreatment of these beautiful creatures. It may look all fancy and sweet for the tourist, but you should see where they are being held during the nights. Supporting this means supporting wild animal trade.
Thanks for Feedback. I can do a part 2 of the afterlife and everything when I return.
The cubs used for petting exhibits are torn from their mothers shortly after birth, causing emotional pain to both the cubs and the mothers. Imagine what that mother tiger experiences after enduring the long pregnancy and finally giving birth, filled with the instincts to nurture her cubs, and then having them snatched away. The breeders take them away and have people handle them so the cubs will “imprint” on the people instead of doing what is natural and imprinting on their mothers.
Juna de May I was wondering about that myself. Considering there is such a disgustingly big market for tiger parts. I know in China and I'm sure other countries they raise them on farms like cattle for this purpose. I would like to see this wonderful sanctuary they are suppose to go to as well.
I agree with you Stacey: I still believe that they are killed and sold as parts to the Chinese for a lot of money.
I plan to go here when I'm in Thailand
Nice enjoy
1:09 ain't that the truth brother
So you mean its literally possible for me to have a domesticated tiger at home. Btw you're great man :D
Yep , thanks
Blackbeard KillerBee I would suggest you not purschaing a tiger. Tiger aren't like housecat. They're wild animals & sadly people purschaed these animals with 0 ounces of knowleged raising these beautiful creatures. Owners will buy a cub in young age thinking " omg is so cute to have." then regret owning one when these tiger get older, they will become aggressive, very soliarty animals. needed a big enclourse, healtly diet as well and enrichment. I would advised looking at Big Cat Resuce! that a true Sancutray to be trusted with caring for tiger who been nelgect, use for entertainment, as well people who got sick of caring for them.
Animals can be trained but cannot be tamed. Not every day is a good day. Be safe than sorry
Tight!
Such small cages :(
4:16 was a pleasant image - but obviously, no animals (including humans) should be locked up for no good reason and certainly not tigers - but the Thai are probably better than a lot of other peoples when it comes to "care" - fast become an "international retirement facility" as well....:-)
+Ledzz Go I didn't buy what the guy said about the tigers going someplace 'free' when they get too big. Thailand isn't known for animal welfare (Look into the abuse elephants go through). While young enough to handle these tigers make a lot of money. But after they're to big for these photo ops they're costing them money- they need to eat a lot of meat, need a lot of space... These tigers can't be set free because they don't know how to survive in the wild and associate people with food- that makes them potentially dangerous and will get them shot. I suspect they wind up in circuses, bad zoos, even black market- either for pets or their body parts- a dead tiger is worth a lot for traditional medicine. :(
"Lazy"..mhm..
No ones questioning why all the tigers are tired and sleepy?
Compare this to big cat rescue. This place seems horrible
Samantha Cor it really does

The breeders take them away and have people handle them so the cubs will “imprint” on the people instead of doing what is natural and imprinting on their mothers.
I agree totally with you there; it is disgusting that this happens.
It's natural tiger nature where the cubs stay with their mothers for 2 months max. Then the mothers leave them to go back to mating. Mature tigers aren't social or pack animals. You should really do more research. Also there's bloggers and randoms who say things that aren't true without the research. They aren't checking facts about natural tiger behavior or going to the actual facilities and asking the right questions. Randos and bloggers aren't journalists. This guy actually went and did his research. I think it's more fair to go and see for yourself what you like and don't like about these places after you do research on tiger behavior and ask hard questions for a fair assessment before passing this type of judgment.
hello when you come here and see me, just say hello or mmmm kiss....
How can't you see how drugged and abused those tigers are. Your there with everyone else acting like a ass and thinking they are being taking care of.. ... It's horrible... Tigers need to be free
I hope I never see this man on "When Animals Attack". haha Send this man all your positive energy please because if he is going to do stuff like this then he is going to need it .lol In a cage with Tigers ??? Wowwwwwwwww..
haha
They are not lazy they are drugged! How I know this is a friend knows the owner of the tiger kingdom!
Bruce Wayne - oh no doubt they are definitely drugged. Tigers may be nocturnal but if they're around people in the daytime they will be curious and act like a cat. There is too much commotion going on and having all these strangers touching and laying on them without a reaction is definitely a red flag.
Kitty Kat believe me they are there is no way a tiger a wild animal will be tame with this many people, if you have raised from a cub the tiger will most probably be fine with the person who raised it and not this many random people
Bruce Wayne - yeah exactly. Check out the Lion Whisperer "Kevin Richardson" he's the REAL DEAL!
Here's a question- where are the cubs' mothers? Why don't they show the mothers being heartbroken about getting their cubs stolen from them? "After 2- and a half years- go other place, bigger place, free"- LIE! First off these tigers were hand raised by humans- they associate people with food, were never taught by their mothers how to survive (In the wild they stay with their mother up to two years) so these tigers can never be free. Secondly I doubt this other place is any better than where they are- it's probably worse since these tigers aren't taking in the dough like the cute cubs are- cubs earn money but big adult tigers cost money. They eat a LOT of meat. It's more likely these tigers get sold to whoever will pay for them- other zoos, for pets, even for canned hunting or just straight out killed for their hides, meat and body parts for traditional medicine. They feed them chicken?! Chicken might be okay for housecats- they've evolved from eating birds. But tigers need red meat. Tigers in the wild probably eat birds when they happen to catch them but they generally go after bigger prey.
Dats it im outta here! thanks bruh keep it up!
Do it up
If you get with the medium tigers and you look from the fence at the back of the enclosure you will see this massive bengal tigers beaten to death in small jails where they can't even move. Petting zoo
Lolgamer_jorge Bullshit!
This is not what they were born to do!
funny fact is most of these Criticizers have pet cats. FYI, tigers are cat bulky cats
I'm going to pet some kitty cats 😻
These animals belong in the wild, not in cages. Please educate yourself and stop visiting and promoting places like this.
yesplease andthankyou AND YOU BELONG IN A MOUSE CAGE CRACK-EGG HEAD
I would love to be able to touch one there my life I love tigers to bits I do drawings of them there adorable
Those tigers are drugged !!!
Syrren, please don't misinform the internet world. I worked at Tiger Kingdom for almost 2 months. I worked together with the tiger trainers and the veterinary. You can read about it here: www.paintmeparadise.com/truth-tiger-kingdom/ You can be anyone you want on the internet, be someone who checks their facts please! :)
No, they are not.
your link is not online. What are these animals fed exactly? You would know that if you worked there.
they are abused they have scars on there body
you can never know if those scars are from animal abuse or from scratching the fence
@3:53 hahaha!!!!!!
How can somebody be so naive and come to the conclusion that this is a great place to visit? Tigers are still cats and cats hate it when somebody touches them if they don't feel like it. But apparently those tigers don't care. So, now this should ring a bell! But you just don't care as many people out there and feed other people with this silly conclusion. It can only be egoism that drives you to get that 'cool' picture with a tiger and show your friends. Idiotic.
Nicole Malig I appreciate and welcome all feedback. All I can ask is have you visited and done full investigation of the place. I am not saying I am right. Just sharing my experience there. If you have been and seen inside and out of the place would love to hear more.
+Nicole Malig wow you are expert on cats now ? Cats I know from friends are total hugbabies , they always come cuddle and sleep with you .. dont generalize cats lol
+JubrilAgoroh Weird, now why would a tourist attraction want to cover up its widely documented wrong-doing when someone comes in with a camera for a 'behind the scenes' tour?
I was there in January and it was an awesome experience. Best $85 I spent during my 2 weeks in Thailand. I went into all 4 cages and paid for a photographer for each size of tiger. The tigers are well cared for and it was a calm and amazing experience. I got lots of photos with my camera as well. It's an experience of a lifetime!
Very nice glad you enjoyed it
JubrilAgoro do a invite tour im in or "how to do what i do" lesson...pls
Deborah Boyd Deborah Boyd... you are just 1 of the total freaking DoucheBags... !! A Tiger in a Temple is akin to a Person in Prison, only worse - they didn't do anything wrong and they don't stand a living hope of ever getting out alive! Into the mix I throw JubilAgoro, Beter Noire, Cookieboy70, cbrstunter24, lewischar, Steve A... and the rest of the pathetic nitwits who obviously don't give a damn !
+Deborah Boyd You should see the mothers of the cubs... How they act after their cubs are taken from them to be used for entertainment.
Please redeem yourself by donating the same money to a real tiger conservation programme and you really shouldn't publicise your own participation in these disgusting places
these animals are drugged
The tigers look healthy and happy.
Princess D - yeah cause they're high as a kite. lol
Why are you so happy? All you are doing is supporting the abuse of tigers by any means possible to please ignorant tourists. Sick.
Drugged and constantly handled theses tigers live miserable lives. Without tourists money they wouldn't exist. Why on earth do people visit them, don't they see the cruelty?
all women species small but more aggressive Kmsl
Mate, do you not see how immoral these tiger parks are? Why are you promoting something so disgusting? You know the tigers are normally drugged yeh? Why do people think it’s ok to exploit animals? How would you feel if you were imprisoned your whole life and annoying, ignorant people paid to come and pat you and have a photo taken?
Omg I wanna play with a tiger cub so badly.
Nice go and enjoy
Currently in Chiangmai, this is the last thing I would want to visit. There are fantastic conservation projects going in the world which support tiger populations and this is not one of them. Have a beer and enjoy the temples and food instead, there's a lot more the see in Chiangmai than cruelty to animals
Tigers are my favorite and the fact this place exists depresses me. Especially after seeing that they’re drugged. They don’t deserve that. They deserve to be in the wild running free. This is so sad.
They are not drugged you fool
Darren Shortall yes they are you idiot
