Safari World, Bangkok Overview
A large wildlife park divided into Safari Park and Marine Park sections with animal shows and drive-through experiences. Suitable for families and usually requires half a day to explore properly.
Safari World began operating as a zoo in 1988, with provisions for the addition of a bird park. However, it expanded into an entertainment park the very next year by offering several exciting activities within the open zoo. A marine park was added soon after featuring many underwater animals. Safari World in Bangkok is one of the most coveted destinations in Thailand where the visitors can get up close and personal with wild animals from all across the world. It is a zoo with a difference offering many entertainment options, including feeding and petting the animals.

A Brief Glance Through the Safari
(Source)
The Beginning
The Safari Park section of Safari World is dedicated to animals from all parts of the world. Visitors can thus come face to face with giraffes, zebras, gazelles, camels, and an astounding variety of birds inside the enclosure.
Getting Through
One can drive their own car through the park or choose to travel in the luxury coaches provided by the authorities. One has to observe a few rules while passing through the park, though.
Tips
Talking loudly, screaming, honking repeatedly or gesticulating might scare the animals causing them to react. One can even pass by the animals keeping the windows of the car open. However, stepping out into their midst is forbidden. The huge giraffe feeding platform is always in demand with the tourists getting to feed bananas to the tall creatures and being licked by a big, black tongue in exchange.

The Carnivore Tour
The second part of Safari Park is intimidating, with the vehicle entering a zone that is well guarded and the visitors only allowed inside the massive gate once the car/coach is locked from inside and the windows are shut tight. Then begins the den of the carnivores and predators and the tourists are enthralled to find huge tigers, lions, and bears napping contentedly, playing with each other or even bathing in the shallow ponds provided for them.
Tips
It is advisable to enter the safari park in the morning hours to watch the lions feeding. Otherwise, one completely misses seeing them as the ‘king of the jungle’ is too lazy to come out into the open in the afternoon.
