It was a quiet Monday afternoon (April 28, 2008), wandering the ground floor of the Big C Festival Centre, North Pattaya, looking at the goods for sale. Tee-shirts, leather goods, shoes, tiger cubs in shopping trolleys!

"Bit early for drinking", I hear you say. But no, what a surprise, two tiger cubs being pushed around in shopping trolleys.

Of course I didn't have my camera with me so I took these pictures with the camera on my mobile phone.

Theses pictures are of Valentine. What a surprise to see when shopping.

But of course the biggest surprise was when Valentine, tired of being paraded like this, decided to try and get out and roam Big C for himself.

The tigers were part of the Chonburi Travel Fair being held at the Big C Festival Centre until May 5 and features stage shows from Nong Nooch Gardens, the Alcazar Theatre and a special exhibition of animals from the Kow Kheo Zoo located just outside of Pattaya.
