The_Munchmaster Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Went to Dusit Zoo the other week. A couple of folk warned me that it wasn’t very good, however the website promised much so I went anyway. As it turned out it they were right, more of a kids playground with some animals than a proper zoo. Many of the species on the website didn’t appear to exist and many (birds and monkeys) were behind such small mesh that you could barely see them, never mind photograph them! Of the big cats only the White Tigers had an open enclosure where you could see them properly (rather than behind dirty glass) but they like the other cats weren’t doing much moving around that afternoon. Anyway here’s a few pics from the day.

Anyway I don't have a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hi, Thanks for the pics. Very nice. I agree that the zoo is pretty crap. Many of the animals are kept in pretty dismal conditions (or at least were when I was there quite a few years back). Safari World is okay-ish, but certainly not great. Not sure if it is worth the trip out there to be honest. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huumlaar Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 The Bird and animal Show at Dusit used to be pretty good, kids liked that. Beside the Zoo is the Dusit Palace, WELL worth visiting, doesn't get a lot of tourists but a great spot, I prefer it to the "Royal" tourist spots in town. Kids have seen Singapore and night Safari there and nothing is very impressive after that. The Million Year Stone Park and Zoo outside Pattaya is great fun, you can play "fish" with crocodiles. Nice Elephants, Giraffes, etc there too, get photographed with a Tiger - though that can be a little scary, last time I did that the thing growled the whole time and the trainer/water boy kept hitting it on the head with a stick to shut it up.

Boo Radley Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Nice pics. Agree, went there many years ago back in the 90s and it was a bit run down then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Met these squirrels at the zoo but they weren't exhibits and didn't hang around to have their pics taken. Can anyone identify the species? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
