An iconic experience in Bangkok offering unforgettable memories and stunning sights.
Searching for the perfect family day out in Bangkok? Look no further than Safari World Bangkok. Covering a massive 170 acres just outside the bustling city limits, this sprawling wildlife sanctuary is Thailand's greatest open zoo and leisure park. Since its opening in 1988, it has thrilled millions of visitors with its incredible array of wildlife and spectacular entertainment shows.
What makes Safari World unique is its clever division into two distinct theme parks: the incredible open-air Safari Park and the action-packed Marine Park. To truly experience all the shows, feedings, and animal encounters, you need to dedicate an entire full day to this attraction.
The Safari Park is an 8-kilometer massive open-air sanctuary where hundreds of animals roam completely free. You do not walk here; you drive through.
The Marine Park is the traditional walking section of the zoo, resembling a massively expanded theme park filled with incredible live animal shows.
The true magic of Safari World lies in its meticulously choreographed shows. Time management is critical here, as the shows run on a strict schedule and often overlap. Ensure you arrive at least 15 minutes early to secure good seating.
One of the most viral spots in Bangkok! Stand on an elevated wooden canopy and feed bananas and carrots to over 200 giraffes simultaneously. It is an exhilarating and slightly chaotic experience that provides the ultimate selfie moments.
Additional Cost: 100 THB per food bucketWitness the incredible intelligence and agility of Pacific Bottlenose dolphins. They perform synchronized flips, interact with their trainers, and splash the front rows! A massive hit with younger children.
Usually 1:30 PM (Check daily schedule)Indian Buffet Lunch: The park features a designated Indian Buffet Restaurant within the Marine Park catering specifically to Indian dietary preferences (including Jain options on request). We highly recommend booking a ticket package that includes this buffet lunch.
Beat the Heat: The park is incredibly vast and mostly outdoors in the sweltering Bangkok heat. Bring umbrellas, sunhats, high-SPF sunscreen, and dress in light, breathable cotton clothing. Portable mini-fans are a lifesaver.
Transportation: Safari World is about a 45-60 minute drive from central Bangkok. Do not rely on finding a meter taxi for the return trip as they often refuse or demand exorbitant flat rates. Instead, book a private round-trip transfer through your travel provider.
Safari World Bangkok, Min Buri
Located about 40km northeast of central Bangkok. Given the lack of reliable public transit in that specific suburban area, pre-booking a private van transfer is strongly advised over navigating BTS+Taxi combos.
Planning your trip? Most international flights land at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. We recommend combining a city tour with island excursions to Phuket or Koh Samui for the ultimate Thai experience.
