Crocodile Farm

We're finally back in Thailand.  I actually missed it so much and couldn't wait to get back.  My brother Logan is here doing an internship at a local hospital for the next month, so we decided to check out a crocodile farm.  It was bananas.  This was the scene that greeted us as we walked in the entrance:
 A random unattended tiger just hanging out.  I was in shock.  And was thus totally suckered into paying the 6 bucks to get a picture:
 The tiger was pumped full of opiates, but I was afraid that the strong smell of my fear would snap him out of it.


 During our visit, I was torn between loving the thrill of being at a zoo without all of the States' pesky safely regulations, and being totally depressed and horrified for these poor animals and the conditions they were living in..


Here I am with a big fish head on the end of a fishing pool feeding the crocodiles.
I felt like I was going to be pulled into the water:


The elephant show was awesome.  Here is a tiny clip of the end of an elephant's bike ride:
