#TroveOn - Want an expensive 15 minutes with some lethargic tigers? Check out Tiger Kingdom in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We paid close to $40 for 2 of us to spend 10ish minutes with these cuties. Most of our photos are us laying down with them, asleep. So count the cost and decide for yourself. I don't regret it, but won't go again!
