When you go in and take the picture with the tiger remember:
1. Relax, this is a tame tiger (her name is Sarah)
2. Please, sit down beside the tiger
3. Put your hand and touch the tiger softly
4. Don't move your hand and stay still
5. Relax and smile

Well worth visiting the Aquarium and tigers. Even though the tigers that you see are kept in cages for the tourists to view them, they do have a better area in which to sleep and live in.
Ive never been that close to a tiger before , the zoo's in Australia have big fences up around the enclosures. There are cages outside with monkeys and birds and otters in them, feel sorry for their living quarters although Ive seen worse in Malaysia.
600 bt for a photo with the bengal tiger and they laminate it for you and its a big photo, worth it !!

This place is best visited by hiring a scooter or car and travelling there yourself..........by car about 20 minutes from Lamai a further 10 minutes from Chaweng. It is located just off the southern loop road on Koh Samui.
The Aquarium is small but interesting, there is a good bird and tiger show and you can have your photo taken with a tiger for 500tb. The enterance fee is minimal. The show is on 2 or 3 times a day.

This place is much more than just a Tiger show,it's a bird show,aquarium,resort,beach and a fun way to spend a few hours while in Samui.
There is a great resort here called the Samui Orchid resort with pools and a nice beach.
There is also a very large and interesting aquarium where you can go down under the water level and look at all the fish close up.
They will even allow you to feed the Turtles if you want.
The Tiger show itself is about 1pm each day and quite good but not very long, although the bird show that preceeds it is very well done and a lot of fun.
The audience and in particular children are urged to participate in the bird show.
All up it is well worth the money and time for a great day out.

This has to be the most depressing sight on the whole of Samui.
Bengal Tigers are beautiful animals that deserve a decent life and should not be locked up in cramped concrete cages for the benefit of tourists.
Are people really that stupid to have their photograph taken with such exotic creatures?
I believed that the majority of 'zoos' for the 'delight & pleasure' of tourists was well left behind in the 20th century - I was wrong.
The place should be shut down, and the tigers sent to a proper sanctuary.
I hope that those who have had their photograph taken, make a large donation to a Tiger charity as some kind of atonement for their actions.

Take a picture of you with a Bengal tiger. You can either take the picture by yourself or ask the staff to take a picture. It will cost more if the staff takes a picture.
There's no admission fee to just look at the tiger.

Watch local marinelife without getting wet. Many species are shown here including sharks. We laught a lot because near the shark bassin the made a sign: don't put your hands in the water.
They have got panters, tigers and other animals including an amazing collection of birds. Beautifull...
You can even take a picture of yourself with one of the tigers. To take the picture costs 100 baht with your own camera and 250 baht with their polaroid. A unique experience. You are actually in the cage sitting next to the tiger and you can touch it. I will put my picture together with the tiger here later.
I can recommand everyone to visit the show. It's worth it!
Price:
Adult: 250 Baht
Child: 150 Baht
