The one where I cradle a baby leopard in Thailand: Travel Memory #2

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

I’m currently in Peru and Bolivia with spotty internet access, but have scheduled posts of some of my favourite travel photos from over the years. Enjoy!



Please do not adjust your computer screen.  That is really a baby leopard in my grasp.

It wasn’t exactly what I had in mind during my trip to Thailand.  But the opportunity presented itself on an overnight trip to Kanchanaburi, a city one hour away from Bangkok.  Don’t ask me the context, I really don’t remember!  But this picture is really freaking cool, even though it is entirely ill-advised.

Have you ever done something silly like this during your travels?




Psst! Don’t forget to “like” me on Facebook if you haven’t already! Your support is much appreciated!

  • I'd probably do something like that too! Though right now all that comes to mind are the stupid things I've done whilst traveling, not so much cute/silly!

  • wow, that place looks like a restaurant, but it seems like they have all sorts of animals for people to "touch and take pictures" with

  • wow…nothing ever silly done during any of my travels, but this not on my list.

  • Oh, that baby leopard is adorable! It looks right at home in your arms!!!

  • I want to eat it! I melt over pictures I've seen of people snuggling baby tigers (although I don't know if I'd do it myself just because I know there are some concerns about the animals being drugged), and you're the first I've seen with a leopard, which makes it even cuter.

  • It's so cute!! But you can't see it's teeth or claws in the picture 😉

  • Do you know exactly where it is in thailand and what’s the place is called??
    have been searching for somewhere to do this
    For months!!! I am almost obsessed with leopards
    And this is at the top of my bucket list!

  • Hi, I’m really not sure how this is a bucket list item or amazing or cool in any way. If anything, this is a sheer disregard for animal rights and considering you’re a journalist, one would expect better. This baby leopard that has been drugged for tourists to hold, so that the people who drugged it get some money out of it. Paying money to hold this little cub just furthers the abuse. Would any of enjoy being drugged all day so that random strangers can pet you?
