For clients chasing a once-in-a-lifetime photo, Tiger Kingdom is one of southern Thailand's most-requested encounters: a chance to step into an enclosure and get up close to tigers under the supervision of professional trainers. It runs in both Krabi and Phuket, it is a high-emotion booking, and as a Thailand DMC for travel agents and your Krabi DMC we book the right encounter with the logistics handled.
What is Tiger Kingdom?
Tiger Kingdom is a professionally managed attraction where visitors can enter a tiger enclosure with trained handlers for a short, supervised encounter and photographs, or simply observe the animals from designated viewing areas. It is open daily, roughly 09:00–18:00 (last entry around 17:30). A typical encounter is a brief, closely supervised session inside the enclosure, and the attraction is geared toward safe, controlled access with staff present throughout.
Understand the encounter tiers
The product is organised by which tiger you meet and how much access you want, so match it to the client's appetite:
- By tiger size — encounters are offered with the smallest (youngest) tigers, medium tigers, and the big tigers; the size sets the mood from playful to powerful.
- Combos — bundle two sizes (for example medium plus small) into one visit for clients who want more time and variety.
- Walk-around admission — a no-contact option to observe the tigers from public viewing zones and learn about their care, ideal for cautious clients and families.
Included: admission and the supervised encounter or viewing for the chosen tier, with trainers present. Excluded: professional photo packages, transfers unless added, and personal spending. Explera confirms the current tiers and conditions on your quotation.
How to package it
Tiger Kingdom is a short, headline activity, not a full day, so slot it into a wider Krabi or Phuket programme — an island tour, a beach afternoon or town sightseeing alongside. Add a private transfer from our Thailand DMC transport team for the timing, and build the whole day through our Thailand DMC tours and activities for travel agents.
