Chiang Mai Zoo

A pretty good zoo by Thai standards

What we say:

Chiang Mai Zoo, while incomparable with the standard of western zoos, is pretty good compared to other zoos in Asia. There is a wide range of animals from all over the world. They are caged but not too restrictively and information about the animals is displayed in English. Currently there are two pandas on loan from China; the zoo is hopeful that the female can get pregnant after insemination, so watch this space!

The grounds are large and hilly, and pleasant to walk around. If that's a bit tiring, it's possible to hire a golf cart for around 250B an hour. The zoo in mid 2007 was undergoing extensive renovations and installing a sky train system to make moving around the park easier. The works should be completed by Christmas 2007. Bring some snacks to enjoy in the picnic areas and make a day of it.
