About Khao Kheow Open Zoo
Khao Kheow Open Zoo is one of the largest and most interesting zoos in Thailand. Unlike a traditional city zoo, many animals live in spacious open areas designed to resemble their natural environment.
Visitors can see deer, gibbons, flamingos, red pandas, penguins, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, ostriches, lions, tigers, elephants, kangaroos, koalas and many other species.
The zoo is especially popular with families because children can observe many animals at close range, visit open-air zones and take part in permitted feeding activities.
