We left Bangkok pretty early in the morning and arrived in beautiful Chiang Mai mid-afternoon. I said it before and I’ll say it again — if we were moving to Thailand, that is where we would live. The beauty, the food, the people — I could go on and on. When we were all settled at the Le Meridien, we got a head start mapping out our time there. First up? Tigers!
Chiang Mai Tiger Kingdom
**NOTE** After visiting Tiger Kingdom, I cannot, in good faith, recommend this place. The tigers are sedated, whipped and just treated poorly overall (in my opinion). I am keeping this post live in an effort to tell people what really goes on at this place, despite what the photos might look like.
