Chiang Mai Zoo : info and guided tour

Introduction to Chiang Mai Zoo

Chiang Mai Zoo is a large zoological park located at the foot of Doi Suthep mountain in northern Thailand, at 100 Huay Kaew Rd. Set in a lush green environment, it brings together many animal species from Thailand and other parts of the world, making it one of the city’s best-known places to visit.

The site is appreciated for its natural setting, with wide paths, spacious enclosures and walking areas that blend into the landscape of Chiang Mai. Its appeal comes as much from the diversity of animals on display as from the chance to explore the park in a mountainous setting, which is unusual for an urban zoo.

Chiang Mai Zoo is especially famous for its iconic species and its spaces dedicated to discovering Asian wildlife. Visitors come here to see animals that are very popular with the public, as well as facilities that offer a varied visit, combining observation, education and the discovery of biodiversity.
