Safari World, the largest and most diverse open zoo in Bangkok, Thailand
This wild world near Bangkok, although not entirely new, has its attractions. It has been very popular with tourists for many years, whether they are traveling alone or in a tour group. It’s simple, there’s no other place to find it. This wild world is divided into two parts, one is called Safari Park, and the other is called Marine Park. Both parts are wonderful. If you want to go to both sides, it is best to reserve most of the day. The price for both parks is about 1,300 baht for adults and 957 baht for children when booked through the official website. Let’s talk about the Ocean Park first. It covers a large area and has many performances, including gorillas performing Muay Thai, sea lion performances, elephant performances, western cowboy performances, dolphin performances, bird performances, etc.
The most exciting one must be SPY WAR, which I have to watch every time I go there for many years. The wonderful thing about it is that it can be said to be a stage play version of a 007 movie. It puts the 007 movie elements in an outdoor place, plus all the soundtracks of James Bond movies. At the beginning, there are stuntmen falling from the sky, and then there are secret weapons, explosions, elevators, jet skis, gun battles, etc. The audience will definitely applaud. Although only the actors and stuntmen have changed over the years and the plot has not changed, it is still amazing every time you watch it.
There is only one performance mentioned above every day. Pay attention to the fifth photo to find out the performance time of each day. If you want to watch these performances, remember to reserve time, otherwise it will be gone if you are late. The above performances are already included in the admission fee, and it is free to enjoy the performances, but some activities require self-payment, such as feeding swans, giraffes and other small animals, etc.
The most interesting and popular one is located next to the zoo, which is a giraffe farm with many giraffes. Visitors can feed the giraffes with bananas at 100 baht per bucket. But be careful when feeding them, because giraffes have long tongues and produce a lot of saliva, and if you are not careful your clothes may be covered with saliva. But it's also a joy to watch the giraffe follow your banana and take photos while feeding it.
Another part is the safari park which is also very important. There are many ways to get there. One of them is to take a special car in the theme park for 60 baht per person. The car will drive slowly and there will be people explaining the animals along the way in English or Thai. Another way is to drive in by yourself. Some tourists will drive their own cars, while others will rent a car and have a driver to take you in. You can take photos and view the scenery through the glass along the way. In a very open place, you can see lions, tigers, giraffes and other wild animals walking around, as if they were in a free world.
Let me remind you, how should we allocate our time when going here to play these two things? The most important thing is to look at the performance schedule in the Ocean Park. If you want to see morning shows such as orangutans, sea lions, and elephants, go to the zoo in the afternoon. If you want to see SPY WAR or dolphins, you can enter the wildlife park in the morning. There are shops and snack bars along the way in Safari World. There are also restaurants inside where you can eat when you get tired of shopping. It is a great place for the whole family. But please note that you can only take a taxi to get here. There may be taxis outside when you leave, but not many, so it is recommended to charter a car for a safer trip.
