Pretty small as zoo's go but it opens ealrly so a good option if you have young kids and want to give your wife a weekend morning off. No BTS station nearby - Victory monumnet + cab ride More

I am not big fan of zoos but my son wanted to go so we went is ok for a couple of hours but nothing wow, we liked watching the local families and trying some of the local foods that were for sale. There are tigers, lions, elephants, and more its ok if you have plenty of time in Bangkok. More

The animal quarters were actually pretty good for a zoo. Stop throwing coins on the poor crocodiles! More

It had it's good points but it seemed like just another zoo. The elephant show was entertaining. Admittidly the weather was extremely hot so the animals weren't that enthusistic! More

Ok i have never been to an African Safari but this zoo should be a mini replica zoo of it (if i am not wrong). Once again i am not going to repeat previous reviews from other tripadvisors. I am going to give you top tips about visiting the zoo. 1: bring a big bottle of drinking mineral water because... More

I was traveling Asia in Feb/March with my 5year-old son and was looking for some kids activities. As normally when traveling in cities the zoos are not necessarily my focus it was the best idea ever - especially with a kid in such a big city. The zoo is just beautiful, so many animals that you obviously don't see in... More

We loved Bangkok Zoo. We were a bit worried about going there, having visited other zoos in Asia and having been concerned for the animals there, but generally, the animals here looked well-cared for and happy. The zoo has some breeding projects going on and although there are shows, these are not to the usual "orangutang boxing matches" etc that... More

I was disappointed on my recent visit to Bangkok zoo or Khao Din. Many of the animal enclosures were too small, the animals looked bored and one or two distressed. The enclosures while fairly clean seemed to be inadequate for the animals and certainly did not allow for any kind of good viewing for the visitors. Educational material was sparse... More

Visited with my family (two children ages 2 and 4 years). Very, very hot in the zoo, even with the shade. Not sure why, but seems to be hotter than the rest of Bangkok, maybe it's the walking. Anyway, the animals appears to be well looked after and in appropriate habitats for the most part. I"m not really a fan... More
