Tour description
Khao Kheow is a clever zoo. If you are driving yourself to khao Kheow Zoo, it’s about 45 kilometers from central Pattaya.
Khao Kheow Open Zoo was first opened to the public in 1978, making this probably the largest tourist attraction within easy reach of Pattaya. The Open Zoo is located inside the Khao Kheow-Khao Chom Pro Wildlife Sanctuary which offers a magnificent natural backdrop of beautiful rainforest covered hills.
It’s not the sort of place where the animals’ prowl up and down looking bored out of their skulls. Here you can get as close to the animals as you’d probably want to. The animals’ homes are cleverly woven into the stunning natural surroundings, so at times it’s more like you’re on safari. There are elephants, penguins, hippos and big cats, everything you’d want from a trip to the zoo. Establish in 1978, Khao Kheow was a part of the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand.
It is now one of the biggest open zoos in Thailand, with more than 200 different kinds of animal including Hippos, Giraffes, Rhino, Elephant, Hyena, Tapir, Wilde beast, Snakes, Tigers, Lions, Flamingo and a whole lot more.
