 Zoo + Aquarium 

Welcomed to gate to be told:-

1. Oh by the way Panda die. He die 9 month ago. 

2. Also Aquarium closed. Do you mind?

Well as it’s Chiang Mai Zoo & Aquarium yes we did mind. Nevertheless. As ever optimistic brits we pressed on. 

That however, was where the optimism began to dwindle. 

Rented a golf cart, they charge them out per hour and they’re the slowest things imaginable.  If you go over the hour they charge you again. Which is easily done when it takes an hour just to see the 6 animals they do have alive and visible.

Now to the nitty gritty. Not only was the panda, snow centre and aquarium closed. Also the bird centre, the tigers and leopards closed. The hippos weren’t there. The poor orangutan was hiding by his indoor enclosure door clearly wanting to be out of the sun just baking there.

It’s a very sad state of affairs. Most of the animals are kept solitary which just broke our hearts. 

1 lemur, 1 crocodile, 1 macaque, 1 orangutan, 1 gibbon, 1 rhino, 1 koala, 1 red panda. Just off the top of my head. 

I won’t list the Reticulated Python or the other naturally solitary animals.  
I honestly think they’d be better off rehoming or putting them to sleep. What an unimaginable existence. 

We did see 3 lions which looked pretty healthy.- that was about it.

10/10 not worth the visit. Save your money, we only attended as we wanted to see a panda in real life. “He dead”. Could put that out there not still advertise it.

“Panda die - 9 month ago, is that okay?”

I’m going to have to write a disappointing review. The zoo is definitely in need of financial support.  So don’t be put off from going there if you just put your expectations back a bit. It’s a nice place to visit, the animals are nice but I think some could be more attended to. The zoo looks a little run down but that is my subjective.

Not sure I would go again unless so more investment was put into the zoo

today at the zoo. most of the cages were empty. because they are renovating. the enclosure for the sea animals was also closed. not recommended to go there.

Chang mai zoo

The zoo is very extensive, you'll walk a lot, while most of the compounds look not too modern and species-appropiate. Besides that theres no info about no Panda being here, while the zoo advertises with them and the aquarium is closed, also without prior info at the entrance.
The zoo itself isn't bad, but I wouldn't go here a second time.

No Panda

Awesome Zoo! never had such experience! super HUGE with open spaces for animals and tiny bridges for visitors over the area

Must visit!
