The driver I met this time was very good! Also very comfortable. This time I bought this trip because of MooDeng. If you love MooDeng, you must come and see it. 😍 For the rest, it is like a normal zoo and is very far from the city. Non-Thai tourists are advised to get an international driver's license first, so that they can drive a golf cart freely in the park.

We took the 2-person tour and we were assisted by P'Muay. She notified us before arriving at the hotel to pick us up and she arrived on time. The vehicle was nice and had enough leg room unlike some of the Bolt cars we rode during our Bangkok trip. Despite the limited English, she was very helpful to us! She used google translate to communicate longer sentences. She drove us around the zoo using the golf cart and took our pictures! We said that we only wanted to check out Moodeng and she didn't mind. We asked to be dropped off to Pratunam Market instead of our hotel when going home and she promptly complied. Overall had a fun experience which was made possible by this Klook operator! 😊

We had so much fun exploring the zoo, the animals can be interactive and would love to get fed by the visitors. Moodeng was also there and we watched it being livestreamed, the other animals are also very friendly. Our driver is also very nice and explains everything about the zoo, he took pictures of us and sent it on the day itself, he managed to skip some of the traffic and dropped us off on one of the malls. Highly recommend this service!

The zoo is very large and you need to rent a golf cart. Otherwise, you will get too hot and your half-drunk water bottle will be stolen. Be careful with your belongings.

The visit to the zoo left a lot of positive emotions! I liked that many animals are not in cages, but freely roam the territory. The territory of the zoo is very clean, there is absolutely no garbage. The island of lemurs made an impression. It is also nice that there is an opportunity to feed some animals. Plus it was very convenient to move around on a golf cart, which made the visit comfortable and allowed us to cover more territory.

3rd time visiting Khao Kheow, this time through klook. I realized that when I went with a guide (the second time) - they also use this service, because you get tickets in the trailer, and not at the ticket office. I paid another 35 baht for the bus, but it turned out to be a waste of money, it is easier to walk, I thought the bus could also take you to the pink zone, but it turned out only in the green - and there it is easier to walk in a circle so as not to miss anything. In the pink, it seems, you can use your own car (I don’t know about a bike, and it is better to check about the car) or a rented golf cart. We just walked.
