Phuket Zoo

Phuket zoo is an ugly, smelly old zoo, with not much on offer. I forget the entrance fee, I think it was 600 bhat ($24 AUD). I kept telling myself that maybe it was damaged by the Tsunami, and all the animals were washed away, and all the cages were broken (I know it is probably a lie, but I felt better).

There are only three things you do in Phuket zoo.

1) Crocodile show.

2) Watch some Elephants do tricks.

3) Have your picture taken with a tiger.

The tiger was too tired when I walked past. Maybe all the photos, and the big heavy chain around it's neck so that it could not move had something to do with it. I have no pictures of it for some reason. I think it was too dark, or they were in the way to stop people taking their own pictures. (you could buy a photo)
