Fantastic 5.0
its an open zoo where you can interact with some animals by feeding. its huge and needs a gold cart or tram to go around with additional payment. redeeming the klook tickets are located at a nearby outpost outside the zoo. food stalls are available inside. spent around 1 to 2 hours here due to hot weather.

This is a zoo where you can see animals relatively close up in a spacious natural environment. Both the Green Zone and Pink Zone are worth seeing, but feeding experiences are only available in the Green Zone, where you can feed rhinoceroses, elephants, giraffes, and capybaras. Many people suggest watching the elephant show first and then taking pictures with the elephants, but surprisingly, elephants often don't eat the food, instead taking it with their trunks and then discarding it on the ground. Giraffes, however, eat everything you give them and make for great photos, so I personally recommend them. Monkeys can often be aggressive, so it's best not to leave any items in your cart. Also, the two-hour cart return limit goes by quickly when you're feeding animals, so manage your time well. For the elephant show, watching for just 5 minutes is enough, as the rest is repetitive, so moving on quickly is a good strategy. Our driver, Tamm, assigned by Klook, was very kind and friendly, taking photos and providing guidance, which made for a smooth and comfortable journey. We had no concerns about the driver at all.

It's fun! You get to drive a golf cart around, and the animals in the park seem very healthy and happy. The environment is clean. Just be careful that the monkeys don't snatch your belongings, and you'll be fine; there are many monkeys roaming around.

Tge car was clean and efficient, driver did a good job driving BUT he has zero English knowledge and does not even know how to use google translate:( He has no input whatsoever, and he can’t understand a word that we tell him, so frustrating.

Going to Bangkok soon? Don’t forget to add this meaningful experience to your itinerary. We visited Living Green Elephant Sanctuary Chonburi, just outside Bangkok, and booked our tour through Klook. Here, we got to feed the elephants, see and learn about their natural environment, walk alongside them, and spend time bonding with these gentle giants. More than just an unforgettable experience, visiting an ethical sanctuary like this allows us to learn more about elephants and support their care and well-being. Our guide, if I remembered his name right, Mot, or Gwapo, was very informative and entertaining. If you’re planning a trip to Thailand, consider adding this to your list!
