About
Khao Kheow Open Zoo
Khao Kheow is one of Thailand’s largest zoos, set across green hillsides north of Pattaya. Drive, ride a golf cart or take the tram through open zones with giraffes, zebras and antelope, then explore walk-through areas and a vast aviary.
Allow at least half a day; the weekend night safari offers a different perspective after dark.
Highlights
- Drive-through savannah zones
- Walk-through aviary
- Golf-cart and tram options
- Weekend night safari
Good to know
- Rent a golf cart — the zoo is large and hilly.
- Go early to avoid the heat.
