We went to Dusit Zoo one afternoon after hearing it was a nice place to relax a little from the bustle of central Bangkok. At first sight it seems a little small and dated, but we managed to spend 3 and a half hours there, and have a thoroughly enjoyable time! Situation around a large lake, there are plenty of... More

Having over come almost every taxi drivers reluctance to travel here we arrived at last and headed straight for the aerial walkway which gave us great view of many of the animals on display. Many were asleep or dozy and could barely lift their heads. The highlight of the visit was my Thai companion seeing Giraffe, Zebras, White tigers, Hippos... More

Loved feeding the Hippos & the sealion show was original. Very cheap for a day out. Some building work / improvements but lots else to see and do.

I actually thought there be cute little animals that my daughter could pet .. There were animals to be pet but they didnt look clean :( The lake inside the zoo is green n smelly .. the good part is there are a lot of eateries and coffee places .. The seal show was good

Ok, on the plus side they're really trying hard to educate people about wild animals here, and it's very much geared towards kids. But the problem is that all animals in Asia are looked on as a commodity, to be used, abused or eaten. And this is very much apparent in this zoo, with its undersized cages, the crocodiles covered...

I was here with my girlfriend and we both like this Zoo... My girlfriend had been here before but for me was it the first time. The place I like most was the seal show which was very funny. Inside you can also find 7 Eleven and KFC. The entrance fee is 100 bahr for for foreigner and 70 baht... More

This attraction is really dated and very sad by any standards. It is just next door to Vimanmek (the teak mansion in Bangkok), so works well with combining the two for a day out. Entry is 100 THB (about $3.50) for foreigners. You can then pay another 25 THB each to ride around on a little trolley car, jump on,... More

It's nice there's a zoo that's easy to visit in downtown, but it seems there are less animals and not various. By the way, it's a pretty nice place to relax with family

Had high hopes from some stellar reviews on trip advisor however the reality was nothing but shocking and left us disappointed, distressed and disgusted. Usually we are go with the flow people and had a bit of a laugh at tiger kingdom and their 'Tiger need no drug' assertions (they're not drugged, just really relaxed from all the petting.......) and...
