Kanchanaburi Safari Park and Open Zoo

Elephants. Probably the first thing you will think about Thailand. Though this sounds true, but if by any means you might come across Kanchanaburi there is a Safari Park that you can visit.

28 kilometers away  from the city — the Safari Park in Kanchanaburi  is  an open zoo nestled  in a vast  natural  landscape which houses camels, tigers, leopard, lions, elephants, parrots, deer, zebras, giraffe, flamingo, ostrich, llamas, and a wide varieties of different species waiting for you to witness and interact with.

Some of the animals living here have been rescued, and are now well taken care of by park volunteers and animal experts. If you are very fond of big cats, we highly recommend you to spend half a day here, learning about them, and interacting with them up close.

The elephant and crocodile show runs every day and is one of the most awaited performance that highlights the witty and talented presentation of these creatures. Before you proceed to the tour proper, there are bananas, vegetables, carrots, etc that are available for sale to feed the animals. The driver will then take you slowly, guiding you through each section and help you to take photos.

Kanchanaburi Safari Park was built based on Mr. Pun-yah Prasopsookchokemanee passion, love, and kindness towards animals. He aims for the safari park to become a learning platform for students and environmental education centers throughout the country. They also accept volunteers in the Safari that helps and spend time with the rescued animals especially the monkeys that have been rescued in the past. The volunteers help them to heal the past traumas they experienced outside the Safari.

If you have your own transportation you can roam around the zoo by yourself but it is recommended to take the zoo bus to fully enjoy the view and have a chance to interact with the wild creatures. Don’t be surprised if the giraffes will start approaching the bus to look for baskets of bananas and other fruits that they know you bought for them.

The open safari also houses some of the Asiatic Black Bear, Bengal Tiger, African Lion, Leopard that has been rescued in the past.

If you would like to have your own transportation to go and roam around the Open Zoo proper and visit the Park on your own pace and time, we can arrange a private transport for your convenience from your place and back.

Enjoy and treat yourself for some Jumanji-like experience while you are in Thailand!

Kanchanaburi Safari Park Address: 40/2 Moo 5, Tambon Nongkum, Bo Phloi District, Kanchanaburi 71160 Thailand Opening Hours: 9am to 5 pm daily. Closed on public holidays. Contact: (034) 678225 Website: http://www.safaripark-kan.com/ Ticket Price: 550baht (adult) and 350baht (child)

Two Safari Zoos You Need to Visit in Bangkok, Thailand

Going on a wild African safari has always been a dream of mine. My heart overflows with so much joy at the idea of being around animals.

Name it: snakes to squirrels or dogs to dinosaur fossils, each one is so fascinating that even the scariest ones I have much love and respect for.

To give you an idea, my family once had a pet snake, three iguanas, over 30 small fishes, about 20 Persian, Himalayan and Rag Doll cats (all at the same time, mind you, lol) and currently, three dogs.

Which reminds me, have you seen the episode where I was over the moon meeting Arya Stark’s horse from my Game of Thrones post?

Yes, I really do love animals.

So imagine my excitement to discover safari zoos so close to the Philippines!

Safari World Bangkok

Safari World is a wonderful surprise for the animal lover as it’s only 45 minutes away from Bangkok city.

Riding your own vehicle (you usually book the tour from the city), you get to roam around the zoo grounds just as you would in an African safari.

It’s at the end where you arrive at the actual zoo itself.

What’s the highlight? You need to watch today’s episode to see all the candid, crazy, unforgettable moments captured with such majestic Safari animals!

Kanchanaburi Safari Open Park Zoo

Tourists are taken on a very rustic bus around the impressively vast zoo grounds to feed the different animals from zebras to giraffes, deers and more.

All the fun is in the feeding as each animal we perceive to be shy and harmless in cartoons can actually be quite the naughty ones like this zebra who zoomed in to take the giraffe’s food, haha!

Personally though, the highlight of it all for a separate extra fee is feeding baby leopards and lion cubs!!! UNREAL.

Do they bite? What are they like? Are they mistreating the animals?

Watch and find out.

The video shows it all, I promise! These photos don’t do any justice.

I always stress, the written posts are are merely the introduction to each VLOG episode .

There are more animals to come on the VLOG from Japan, Phuket to the Arctic Circle. So don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

Love & light,

Location: Bangkok, Thailand

NOTE: This written post is merely an introduction as the main content is in the video. I highly encourage you to watch it for the full experience on what the episode is truly all about.

Safari World Bangkok , open since 1988, is just 40 km from downtown Bangkok . It’s unique because it has two parts: the Safari Park and the Marine Park .

In the Safari Park , you can take a 45-minute coach bus ride to see wild animals and watch lions and tigers being fed .

The Marine Park has lots of shows and animals you can see on foot .

Below, I’ll show you the animals and shows in these parks with photos and information.

Safari Park takes you to a fun and informative journey. This one-of-a-kind ride opens your curiosity to the beauty of the African-like wilderness.

While on-board the Safari World Bangkok’s coach bus , you’ll closely see the zebras, white rhinos, camels, deers, lions, tigers, and more!

1. Hoofed Mammals

Are you ready to meet some of the most impressive land mammals?

Safari Park is the home to the wild’s fast-runners―zebras, giraffes, and white rhinoceros. Make sure you also catch up with the laid-back camels.

2. Giant Birds

Take a photo of these large bird species!

Unlike normal birds, ostriches and marabou storks can grow from 5ft to 9ft! Because of their unusual height, they are considered some of the tallest birds in the world.

3. Massive Horned Animals

Now, it’s time to spot some gaur and watusi. These animals have compact bodies and pointed horns.

Despite their massive structure, they are mainly herbivores. They feed on leaves, grass, fruits, and other plants.

4. Other Horned Animals

Also in the area are cattle-like creatures such as wildebeests and oryxes.

There are also smaller horned animals like the impalas and fallow deers. All of these are easily recognized by their horn structures.

5. The Kings of the Jungle

This park also shelters some giant cats like the lions. Watch them stroll around or sleep under the trees.

Sometimes, they play around with their own species.

As you continue your trip to the Safari Park, you’ll come across these dominant felines. Tigers are the only cats with stripes all over their body.

6. Different Bear Species

Bears are the animals that complete the Safari Park section. These massive mammals love to eat different foods, from fish to fruits to honey!

And, they use their sharp claws to easily catch their food.

Safari Park of Safari World Bangkok fascinates visitor with its 2 amazing shows . These are the feeding shows for lions and tigers .

1. Lion Feeding Show

Witness a live lion feeding show from the bus at Safari Park. Seeing these massive beasts consume their daily meat is quite a sight to see!

As playful as they are, lions would climb on the feeding vehicles to get their tasty share.

2. Tiger Feeding Show

Watch in awe as the park staff feeds the tiger with their favourite meat.

Just like how the lions are fed, these powerful animals get their food from the steel cage.

They also love to play around and go up on the vehicle.

Safari World Bangkok’s Marine Park is the best stop after Safari Park. This area gives you more freedom to roam around and see the animals closer .

1. Try Giraffe Feeding

One of the best activities to look forward to here is the giraffe feeding .

You can meet these charming and tall creatures at Marine Park.

By paying an additional of 100 Thai Baht, you can be closer to the giraffes and feed them with bananas.

2. Monkey Species

Come across this adorable orangutan. These monkey species have the same level of intelligence and even number of teeth as humans.

Also in this area are the ring-tailed lemurs, who are known for their long and striped tails.

These particular monkeys are definitely a head-turner because of their colors.

Both have unique features that add up to their popularity. In particular, mandrills are much bigger than the douc langurs.

3. The Giant Rodents

Often, capybaras can be found near the water area of the park.

You might found them walking or simply sleeping on the ground together.

During your visit, you might catch them digging soil or eating munching some snacks.

These lovable small creatures spend most of their time inside underground holes. It’s because the below-ground is their home.

4. Huge and Powerful Tigers

As you pursue with your exploration, you’ll encounter these striking tiger species.

They stand out among other animals because of their light brown fur and brown stripes. And of course, their bright, blue eyes are very mesmerizing.

And of course, you can’t miss the Malayan tigers. Their commanding presence makes them very eye-catching during your tour.

Compared to other huge felines, they are more skillful and powerful.

5. Fast-running Animals

Another highlight in this area of Safari World Bangkok are these fast animals. Kudus, fallow deer, and agile wallabies, in particular, can easily gallop and run because of their body built.

6. Short-legged Horses

Look at these adorable ponies! Often, you’ll catch them eating their favourite grass and relaxing on the ground. These animals are small horses with short legs but thick hair.

7. Charming Sea Mammals

Spend some quality time with these cute animals! Walruses and sea lions are easily recognized because of their dog-like features.

Plus, their chubby skin makes them very adorable. During daytime, they love to sunbathe on the ground or even in the water.

8. Powerful Predators

If you want a little bit of excitement, go to the crocodile section. These big reptiles are very good predators because of their unique physical features.

9. Different Bird Species

Both cassowaries and Cuban flamingo are some of the biggest birds in Marine Park. These birds mainly flock together along damp areas.

Aside from their massive height, they have vibrant colors that make them more attractive.

But of course, you can’t ignore these colorful birds. Each of these species has a unique combination of colors. Most of these animals are very talkative too.

So, if you drop by this area, you’ll definitely hear a lot of chirping and even mimicking of voices.

10. Egg World

Eggs World is another must-visit section. It’s a discovery centre that showcases the life cycle of different eggs.

One of the highlights here is the development of a chicken embryo. There’s also a parrot incubator, where you get to learn their growth process.

11. Tiger Cub Feeding

Nursing a tiger cub definitely a once in a lifetime moment! In this area, you are given the chance to hold and cuddle a baby tiger. Plus, you can take a photo of your experience!

Marine Park is also a favored spot in Safari World Bangkok because of its must-watch shows.

Here, you have 5 fantastic shows to see . Check them out below.

1. Dolphin Show

First on the list is the dolphin show. This is such an entertaining presentation of their skills and natural mental power.

They can easily follow instructions like twirling in the water or jumping up in the air.

Sometimes, they even sing in unison! Surely, there’s never a dull moment when you spend your time with these adorable creatures.

2. Sea Lion Show

Continue your way to the sea lion show and meet these charming animals. Just like dolphins, these mammals are known to be great sea entertainers.

They can balance a ball using their nose, dance with their hands, and do all sorts of tricks. So, make sure to appreciate their talents by cheering on them.

3. Orangutan Show

Another crowd favourite at Marine Park are the orangutans! They are simply lovable because they act like humans.

They would show their incredible moves while dancing to the music.

Not only that but they are also very hilarious! See their boxing match and you’ll be surprised how good they are at throwing cute punches.

4. Elephant Show

If you love these gentle giants, head to the elephant show and watch their incredible skills.

Even with their massive size, elephants are extremely talented mammals! They can easily balance, either on both feet or with just one foot!

These playful animals are also very playful. Catch them popping balloons and shooting a ball using their trunks.

5. Hollywood Cowboy Stunt Show

After the fun animal shows, it’s time for the Hollywood Cowboy Stunt Show. This is a live, comical presentation of a cowboy’s life.

Set your eyes on their exciting routines and amusing battle fights. Some of them even ride horses.

And of course, there are fake gunshots and smokes to add more excitement to the show.

There are different prices when buying Safari World tickets on-site.

For Safari Park , it costs 1,000 Thai Baht for an adult and 900 Thai Baht for a child (aged between 2 and 12).

For Marine Park , the ticket prices are 1,300 Thai Baht for an adult and 1,100 Thai Baht for a child.

For both parks , the rate is 1,500 Thai Baht for an adult and 1,400 Thai Baht for a child.

If you want to save money and get up to 40% discount , then book Safari World tickets online here . This is what we did before visiting the zoo and it really made our trip more cost-effective.

Our visit to Safari World Bangkok was really fun and unforgettable . We loved seeing the animals and the fantastic shows.

To get the best experience, try to visit both parks . We spent around 7 hours there .

We used a shuttle bus to get to the zoo since there’s no nearby BTS station.

We avoided the public bus because it’s slow. You can book the same shuttle bus we used here ; it’s fast and takes you straight to Safari World Bangkok .

This shuttle service includes a drive through the Safari Park , where you can see the feeding shows for lions and tigers up close . You won’t need to pay extra for a coach bus ride to enjoy these experiences.

Where to Explore Next

Aside from visiting Safari World, I suggest that you visit SEA LIFE Bangkok. This is a massive aquarium that comes with spectacular exhibits. Find out more about this place in my detailed guide to SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World .

Both Safari World and SEA LIFE Bangkok are just part of my Bangkok trip. To get more ideas, simply read my personal 5 days in Bangkok itinerary here and discover all the amazing Bangkok sights. This guide will help you enjoy every moment without rushing your time.

If you have plans going to Singapore, don’t forget to see my articles on Singapore Zoo and River Safari . These 2 famous zoos are highly recommended for first-time visitors.

Are you going to Korea? Don’t miss Alpaca World Korea , a unique animal farm that lets you interact with cute alpacas. Also, you can meet other animals like capybaras, fennec foxes, eagles and more.

Before kicking off your Safari World Bangkok tour, get a copy of the schedule sheet and guide map.

The map features all the sections of the two parks to help you navigate easily.

On the other hand, the timesheet provides you with a detailed schedule of the shows in each park.

Both schedule sheet and guide map are available at the front deck of the ticketing counter .

So, be sure to pop by the entrance to get these essential materials.

Safari Park Tuesday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM Saturday to Sunday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Marine Park Tuesday to Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Saturday to Sunday: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM

*Both parks are closed on Mondays.

For the latest operating hours, check out the official website of Safari World .

How to Go to Safari World Bangkok

Once you’ve decided to visit Safari World Bangkok , you’re given 3 transportation options , with downtown Bangkok as the starting point. These 3 ways are: By BTS Skytrain & public bus, shuttle bus and taxi.

1. By BTS Skytrain and Public Bus

There’s no direct BTS or MRT train going to Safari World Bangkok, so you need to take the train first. Right after, hop aboard the public bus.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get to Safari World via BTS train, then public bus:

• Take the Sukhumvit Line to Mo Chit BTS Station.
• From there, go out the Exit 1 and then hop on the Bus No. 26 go to Fashion Island Shopping Mall.
• After get off the bus at the shopping mall, take another Bus No. 197 go to Safari World bus stop. And then, walk to the park in 10 minutes.
• The entire journey takes around 2 hours from Mo Chit BTS Station to Safari World Bangkok.

2. By Shuttle Bus

The best option is the shuttle bus from downtown Bangkok to Safari World . This air-con ride is not just the most convenient but also the safest mode of transportation .

Conveniently, the assembly location for the shuttle bus is just located outside of Central World shopping mall.

• Check the best shuttle bus service price here

The last option is by taking a taxi to Safari World Bangkok. This is the comfortable and fastest way of getting there.

Unfortunately, this is also the priciest, considering the traffic jam in Bangkok.

So, if you’re planning to take a cab, better check with the driver first if their meter is working. If not or if they refuse to use the taxi meter, find another one―it’s better safe than sorry.

Now, we have come to the end part of my article. I sincerely hope you enjoyed reading this Safari World guide and you find it useful.

Safari World Bangkok is undeniably a fun place to visit, especially for animal lovers .

Families with kids will also appreciate this park because of its remarkable display of animals and incredible shows.

So, give it a go and for sure you’ll enjoy every moment in the park.

Wishing you a delightful and memorable journey to Safari World Bangkok! Goodbye! 🙂
