Spread out over a huge area, at the foot of Doi Suithep,
is this exhausting zoo - it’s very hilly - although there is a
tram and a monorail. Most of the animals enjoy quite
large natural habitats here, with inhabitants ranging from
bears to penguins. The latest additions are two pandas
(on loan from China) and their recent offspring, which
have become national celebrities. There is also a brand
new snow dome, which is a novelty for the locals. O
One of Chiang Mai’s newest attractions, this 120-acre
woodland at the foot of Doi Suithep National Park is
worthwhile for the whole family. A two-kilometre Jaguar
Trail around a pretty lake has many zoo-like enclosures and when it gets dark two different tram
rides take visitors through open safari area full of African, Asia and South American predators
and wild animals. It includes a large pavilion area with restaurant and Southeast Asia’s biggest
musical fountain.
