Yesterday Alex Fong 'went into the Tiger's den', to give baths and feed the tigers! For safety reasons, before the process he brought insurance and got a tetanus shot, just in case.

Alex arrived in Thailand's Tiger Temple to film TVB's "On the Road" 《向世界出發》 Season 3 with the Tigers that had no teeth or claws. He also bravely challenged himself to give the tiger a bath and feed him milk! That one tiger was about 300 pounds and also was not in a cage, Alex faces the challenge："at first when I saw the tiger not in his cage, I was a little frighten, thought he had no teeth. But when he was playing with the ball, it only took 3 seconds for the ball to pop!"

The thing that feared Alex the most was the monk's words, the monk told him："even if you're unlucky to let the tiger bite you, don't let him bite your thigh because there are a lot of main arteries there!" After hearing those words, Alex became nervous! Afterwards, Alex had to help a 1000 pound elephant wash up, he said："after communicating with it, I was happy, he is very understanding. He knows how to paint with his nose, I even brought the painting back with me!"
