You’ve heard of Moo Deng, the famous baby hippo in Thailand months ago. Now, let’s welcome Thailand's viral golden tigers: Ava and Luna! Their cuteness is overload!

With plenty of cute animals in Thailand today, there are more reasons to come visit the country for this end of the year’s holiday. Are you one of them? Well, no matter when you’re going to fly to Thailand, it’s better for you to learn more about Ava and Luna – the new stars of Thailand!

Ava and Luna are the new stars from Chiang Mai Night Safari in Thailand. Well, actually, both aren’t that new. Ava was born back in February, 2021 alongside her sister, Luna. Both of them are cute tigers. Why cute, you ask? Because they were born as the rare breed of golden tigers, or also known as strawberry tigers.

Ava and Luna are famous because of their pictures at Chiang Mai Night Safari’s official Facebook that have gone viral around October and November. Ever since Ava and Luna went online, the visits to Chiang Mai Night Safari have been increasing.

Ava and Luna are unique because they both are the rare breeds of golden tiger – a breed that people rarely see too. Some of you might have never known that this kind of tiger exists. Well, thanks to Ava and Luna, now golden tigers are famous!

The people on social media keep commenting on their cuteness, or how they look so clean, friendly, and innocent. In fact, you might not believe that their fangs are still as sharp as other tigers. From appearance, it’s like both Ava and Luna are the friendly Bengal tigers. Even when Ava grins, you’ll find it super cute and you won’t be afraid at all!

Well, Ava and Luna’s faces say so. In contrast with how big they are, their faces look like babies. They are so cute, sometimes you’ll think that they are only a super big cat that you can pet at home.

Well, now you might wonder what are the golden tigers? Instead of having the firm-coloured stripes like other Bengal tigers, golden tigers have these iconic pale golden or strawberry-blonde coats, with light orange or reddish-brown stripes.

Anyway, the rare colour of the golden tigers like Ava and Luna is the result of recessive genes, just like the white tigers. They also have softer and thicker fur. Today, there’s no more than 100 golden tigers all over the world – some even said that there’s only around 30 golden tigers in the world. So, if you have seen Ava and Luna directly, you’re so lucky!

Of course, you can meet Ava and Luna immediately at Chiang Mai Night Safari, located at 33, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai 50230, Thailand. You can see Ava and Luna, as well as other animal collections in Chiang Mai Night Safari, from 11 AM to 10 PM. The tickets can be bought on Traveloka!

Keep in mind that you can only see the cuteness of Ava and Luna from afar. You can photograph them as long as you don’t disturb them with your camera’s flash.

Also, seeing them online and directly will offer different experiences, even though you’re still seeing them in distance. When you see Ava and Luna directly, you’ll feel that you really really want to cuddle with them because you can more clearly see how soft their fur is, especially if you can touch them!
