This chilling video exposes a dangerous trend: many Indian tourists are lured into risky photo-ops with tigers in Thailand, often due to relentless peer pressure.”One of the user claimed that this incident occurred in Tiger Kingdom, Phuket. She added that at the ticket counter the authorities make the visitors sign an undertaking of waiver of their responsibility in case of any animal attack.Another user said that tigers don’t like getting touched at their lower back and the man was continuously petting the tiger at lower back. This must have frustrated the tiger.
