Khao Kheow Open Zoo
"As the second-largest zoo in Asia, Khao Kheow Open Zoo spans a massive 2,000 acres of lush forest landscape. It has recently skyrocketed to global fame thanks to its adorable and spunky pygmy hippo, Moo Deng. Beyond the hippo enclosure, the zoo features over 8,000 animals from 300 species. The park is uniquely divided into zones such as the African Savannah, Cats Complex, and Eld's Deer Park, allowing animals to roam in spacious, naturalistic settings. Families love the interactive elements, including the delightful penguin parade and the ability to hand-feed giraffes and rhinos."

Expert Tip
"Rent a golf cart upon arrival! The zoo covers 2,000 acres, and a cart makes it much easier to hop between zones, especially with small children."
