Pet in Luang Prabang
May 03, 2003

This tiger, named Pet (Lao for "diamond") now lives in a big cage at the base of the Kraingsi waterfall, outside of Luang Prabang Laos. She actually has it pretty good here. They have built her a very large pen on the side of the hill so that she can move around quite a bit. Luckily for us, she was resting inside today so we got an up-close-and-personal view. Note the crazy farang in the back trying to pet the tiger. Granted, this tiger was raised and has been hand fed by humans all her life, but it's still wild and still has very sharp teeth and would probably just as soon bite his hand off. I kept my hands to myself, thank you!
