Luckily for Nick and Lexi, a Jerseyshoreish couple from New York City, Bob and I were big animal lovers. Otherwise, Nick’s promise to his recently deceased brother would have gone unfulfilled. Our tour leader was not going to allow an impromptu visit to Sriracha Tiger Zoo if only two were interested; it had to be at least four people to make it worthwhile.
Nick had vowed to his brother before his death that he would play with a snow tiger cub. Unfortunately, the poor guy was in the wrong country and at the incorrect latitude; an Indochinese Tiger would have to suffice. From the grins on their faces, the couple did not seem to mind.
