Hey there. I have been meaning to add an update to this post. Today, I wouldn’t visit an attraction like this — I’ve learned a lot since 2012.

your behaviour just increases their suffering and brings animals like tigers and elephants one step nearer to extinction.

Hey Maria. I’m long overdue for an update to this post. I wouldn’t make the same choices today.

When I was in Mae Hong Son I was kind of waffling back and forth on how I felt about it, and on my final day ended up having food poisoning. I guessed that was the universe’s way of telling me not to go 🙂 I think I would have found it uncomfortable and a little too touristy.

I know this is an old post, but I’ve recently discovered (and fell in love with) your blog and have been going back. I have a question–do you have a strong opinion on the Karen village in Chiang Mai and seeing those? I’ve seen a lot of photos and tours involving them but I am unsure if they have similar moral issues as some of the other Thailand tourist experiences and was wondering if you had an opinion! My gut just says nope.

Hey Anne, I visited Tiger Kingdom years ago and don’t think I’d make the same choice today. I wouldn’t be so opposed if the money at least went to tiger conservation but it doesn’t appear to. Thanks for sharing the link.
