The elephants are really cute. The park equipment is new and clean. It’s a must-experience when bringing children to Thailand. Like it👍

The zoo environment is not too dirty. You really must go to the giraffe platform. The chartered bus driver will stop and let everyone take photos when encountering special animals or animals that are very close. It is a very good experience.

The food quality is very high. Don't pick up the food yourself. After placing your order, the waiter will deliver it directly to the dining table. I will recommend it to my friends.

Buying tickets in advance is cheaper than on site and you can use your credit card discounts which is a great deal! The interior is well maintained and the shark glass boat is very special.
