This is in response to Challenge by @TusharSuradkar to share Goosebumps experiences.

Since early childhood I had a fantasy to pet a tiger and if possible feed him and play with him. The closest I could get was with a stuffed and mounted tiger at the Vijay Vilas Palace. The caretaker was amused with my request and opened the display case so that I could pet a dead tiger!

Then I got opportunity to visit the Tiger Temple near Kanchanaburi. Months ahead i bought tickets for all the experiences.

It was a dream come true for me. One of the most memorable days of my life, I ended up feeding the tigers, Taking them out for a stroll, giving them a bath and even playing with them.

Here are a few shots from that memorable day
