Post by: kayakebab on January 03, 2011, 22:29:57 PM: just fab, didnt really want to go, only went to keep John quiet!
They plonked the baby one in my arms and I filled up with tears, will never forget it

and totally bonkers - well yes, but did do lots of research first to see how many people had been maimed or killed!

Loved Thailand and had an amazing time there.

Stoop - did you go to the elephant camps too?

Post by: stoop on January 03, 2011, 22:37:05 PM: Certainly did, Linda. Looks like we were there just before you in October 2010 but we also went in January that year and January 2010. Wifey needed to see the kids ;) This one was taken January 2009:

Russ did the elephants today I think and it was a full day looking after one - feeding, washing, riding and mucking out (that bit I don't fancy). I bet it was awesome spending a full day with your own jumbo!

Title: My son found a cat
Post by: kayakebab on January 04, 2011, 20:11:09 PM: Its called Tiger Kingdom. Theres also Tiger Temple near Bangkok, but some very bad reviews and reports of them being mistreated and drugged so we wouldnt go there.

At Tiger Kingdom they are hand reared cubs and orpahan tigers. Theres signs everywhere telling the public to report if they see any signs of cruelty and they're definitely not drugged.
John was laying on this tiger 2 minutes before :

Post by: xxbilleigh-joxx on January 05, 2011, 14:06:18 PM: oh wow, you guys are so lucky. the only animal i've ever been that close to was 'Charlie' the crocodile in The Gambia. I was only 6 at the time but i'll never forget it. such an amazing feeling being so close to them. i'd love to take my kids there in a few years time when they're old enough to appreciate and remember it :)

Post by: kayakebab on January 05, 2011, 19:37:02 PM: Definitely, do it, take the kids its amazing

we bought our flights well in advance and got direct ones for £450 each. Once in Thailand it is so cheap,we were spending about £10 a day for 2 of us for lunch and dinner and a beer each by eating at local street stalls.
We even found a fabulous all you can eat, barbecue your own buffet for £2 a head by the river,and even had live entertainment too!
Taxis are typically £2 for a decent length journey,the river boats are a few pence and even seeing tigers and spending a day with elephants isnt expensive.
Overall we spent less than we do in Turkey even taking the flight costs into account.

Still love Turkey the most though!
