Please do not visit the Sriracha Tiger Zoo
If you like animals and care about the welfare of the tigers that are there do not visit the tiger zoo. There is nothing to see just sad inbreed tigers. The zoo has been raided before for selling tigers to China as food and parts.
The only way they can keep on doing this is because they have foreigner visitors paying entrees fees. If we all stop visiting the zoo they will not get any more money and can not pay the police and the government pocket money.
It is a shame that they call it zoo it is just a breeding factory and tigers and not being put back into the wild.
We will be covering more bad stories about this tiger hell.

According to the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter Thailand military government is to buy the Swedish fighter Plane JAS Gripen.
The deal is really old since the former PM tried to
buy JAS as well from Sweden but wanted to barter with chickens. The Swedish government declined the offer and it looks like that was the best bet.
There is some NGO in Sweden that are not that happy with the sale off course since Thailand is now run by a military government. Even if the deal is sure anything can happen when the new government comes to power after the 23 December this year.
