About
Safari World is one of Bangkok's most iconic family attractions and one of the largest open-zoo experiences in Asia. Covering an enormous area of land northeast of Bangkok's city center, it combines a drive-through Safari Park — where guests traverse a 9-kilometer route encountering freely roaming giraffes, zebras, lions, bears, orangutans, and dozens of other species — with a Marine Park featuring live animal shows, a walk-through zoo section, and themed entertainment.
The drive-through safari is genuinely thrilling for children and adults alike. Animals approach vehicles freely, and on a good morning, it's possible to have a giraffe sticking its head into your car window or a family of zebras crossing the road directly in front of you. It's the kind of wildlife encounter that children remember for years.
Marine Park complements the safari with a packed schedule of live shows — sea lion performances, bird shows, a stunt show, and the famously entertaining orangutan boxing show. The park also has a selection of rides and amusement attractions suitable for younger children. Between the drive-through safari, live shows, and zoo sections, Safari World easily justifies a full day.
Bring the whole family regardless of age — the experience works for everyone from infants in arms to teenagers.
