Sriracha Tiger Zoo, Thailand

Here are a couple pictures from Ed's previous trip - his co-workers have some more, but it will probably be like pulling teeth to get them, so this might be it. Ed said the whole place was very interesting. They would let you do almost anything for the right price. Ed rode an elephant around a huge temple/sanctuary; there were shops everywhere with pirated DVDs as far as the eye could see - Ed bought some nice custom-tailored suits; he went to the zoo and got these pictures - I was glad he didn't end up feeding the adult crocodiles. But it sounds like he spent most of his time avoiding the catcalling Thai girls who would literally latch onto every American who walked by. We're glad he's home safe. :)

A few of Ed's new-found friends.
One orangutan smooched Ed, and the other gave him a handshake (and nearly crushed his hand).

Very cool pictures. It looks like the orangutan was a bit jealous of your shorts. Poor dude must have been feeling a draft. Hope to talk to you soon on the webcam!

Ed-
Looks like you found a job for after retirement, an animal wet nurse. Looks like you are having a great time. Glad to hear it. The pictures are awesome!!! I am jealous. I just can't say the crazy TDYs to Kettering are near as exciting as getting molested by an orangutan in Thailand. Keep in touch.

There is just something really wrong with being that close to all those "exotic" animals. :0 At first I thought that they were fake!
