Located at Khao Din Park in Bangkok's Dusit District next to the Parliament House and Dusit Palace, it is the oldest zoo of Thailand, built by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) as his private garden adjacent to the royal palace There is a large range of animals inside the zoo (approximately 1600) including monkeys, alligators, lions, tigers, penguins and kangaroos.

If you live in a city and you travel to Bangkok, i suggest to try a look and explore the Dusit Zoo and park. There are variety of true live animals like lion, tiger, monkey, squirrels, and so more. It is refreshing because it is a nature trip, and you feel like a kid again to see such different animals especially the extinct ones. How to get there? Since we are tourists, we try to rent a motorcyle, no traffic, and the driver can stop you along the way a lot of tourist spot before getting to the park. This requires an entrance fee and as of now, i already dnt remember how much. Try this park when you travel in Bangkok, Thailand. #urbanexplorer #nationalpark #thailandtravel

Day 1: Arriving at Bangkok's Dusit Zoo, I was immediately captivated by the vastness and refreshing atmosphere of the park. The morning sun bathed the zoo, and the animals were at ease. I started at the mammal section, where I saw giraffes gracefully chewing leaves and elephants strolling slowly like natural sculptures. In the predator zone, the lions' roars were filled with majesty, and the tigers' strides showcased the agility and strength of hunters. At noon, I dined at the lakeside restaurant within the zoo, enjoying Thai cuisine while watching pelicans and flamingos leisurely foraging—a truly pleasant experience. Day 2: On the second day, I participated in the night safari, one of Dusit Zoo's special features. Riding the zoo's small train, I explored the nocturnal animals. The zoo had set up soft lighting, making the lives of night animals like owls, raccoons, and night monkeys clearly visible. The hippos were particularly lively at night, and observing them play in the water was a rare experience. After the activity, I bought a book about Thai wildlife from the zoo's souvenir shop, perfectly concluding my trip. Dusit Zoo, with its diversity and ecological awareness, allowed me to feel a touch of nature's purity amidst the bustling city. This journey gave me a deeper understanding and respect for the lives of wild animals.
