I've been to a 8-10 different zoo's in my life and, while I didn't see any animals I had never seen at a zoo before, I saw animals up close - much closer to some than I had ever been before. (We pet and fed a full-grown rhinoceros, pet a lion cub, and fed a full-grown deer that walked up... More

The Zoo is a great place as for kids also for adults. It´s very clean and huge. We rented a golf car for 3 hours (450THB) and drove around. It was really nice, we stop whenever we wanted and stayed as long as we wanted. The best for us was: feeding of hippos, rhinos, small tigers and deer. Where are... More

I have been here many, many times, but for those visiting for the first time you will have a great time feeding giraffes, hippos, deer, etc. There are a wide variety of animals spread out over a large hilly area. This would be a wonderful place to bring young children who love animals. Bring your car, park, get out and... More

Khao Kheow is a magnificent blend of forests, wild animals, bird aviary and responsible animal management. Sponsored by HM Queen Sirikit, the zoo has grown in size, scope and importance. Internationally recognized for its animal management and operations, the zoo has features that make it a great day trip for the entire family. More than 300 species and 8,000 animals... More

Definitely a good site to visit, especially with kids- U can see most of the inhabitants of this open zoo very close feed and even touch them to your heart's content which I certainly did: elephants, deers, gibbons, ostriches, rhinocerus and many many more. Especially I recommend their show which starts several times a day. The audience is seated in... More
