BACK TO HOMEPAGE

Small, but an interesting little zoo

See some of the regions endangered wildlife

Unfortunately, almost all of the regions’ once-plentiful wildlife is now endangered


Here your kids cat pat a tiger, wonder at a variety of other native species, and hopefully learn something about the disappearing wildlife of the tropical rainforests
 

Phuket’s only zoo is small, and while not at all impressive in size, it is quite attractive. It has something of the feel of a home zoo, which it began as.

It is situated on the Southeast corner of the island, just off Chao Fa Road, which runs from Phuket to Chalong. About midday along this road there is a 3-way intersection, with one of the few traffic lights here. The zoo is just down the left turn-off. There are signposts at the intersections, making it quite east to find.
